Beautiful description! Oh, but what a blessing to know we've received God's grace and that we're not alone with our infirmities and uncertainties!

What a beautiful poem. Thanks for posting it Dotsie! Chatty, you are very blessed indeed to have had one of your poems published along with one of Maya's. I know that Maya has several books out there, I am wondering if anyone could let me know which one would be my best bet to find something to read at a wedding?

I agree - Maya Angelou is a very special spirit. Many of you Boomer girls had your poems included in the "Cosmic Brownies" book I edited for Sun Rising Poetry Press and believe me, I couldn't be more thrilled that Maya contributed a poem to the collection. As you remember the theme of the book was "life's little lessons learned" and she certainly captured the theme with her poem.
I've seen her on television many times and she just seems to very graceful and eloquent - what an extremely talented woman.
Thanks for posting the poem Dotsie....it's really wonderful!

Thank you for posting this poem! It speaks so authentically and really expresses the true nature of the type Christian I strive to be. Give me someone on the journey, rather than someone who feels that they "have arrived" anyday!

Welcome BethyB! Glad to have you here! Yeah, I agree with "on the journey". I guess we are all, one way or the other, on the journey. Our final destination is heaven-at least, that is my blessed hope!!!
