One night as I walked alone,
I came upon a narrow path,
I chose this path tho the
darkness crowded 'round me
and I wondered if I would
ever see,where my path would
lead.
I felt a heavy burden as I
hurried on my way.
And the darkness seemed to
hold me but I knew I should
not stay.
When shining through the darkness
like a beacon on the hiil
I saw a light shine through the
night beckoning me onward
So i followed that light up the
hill where a little white church
stood on a sign outside the door
of that church it read
have you talked with God today?
why not give him a call? come in
and have a seat our lines are
always open
so i opened the door to the church
and walked in sat down and had a
long talk with god
the first words i heard him say
were "what took you so long?"
now i talk to him daily and always
remember to say hello even when im
in a hurry
i would not have done this if it
had not been for the light on the
hill that lead me back to God
Please tell me what you think

I talk to GOD all day and I know he hears me, it funny though we always seem to talk TO God when we need something or we have pain in our lifes, but he is with us all the time he is our essence and our love and for me the doors to the church is within. it was pleasure reading your beautiful poem thank you for sharing. God bless

Beautiful
I saw your comment below about being disillusioned with organized religion. That would describe me, too. But the simplicity and beauty of this story is inspiring and just what I needed to hear, so much so that it's hard to believe that it's only a coincidence. You captured a profound experience in an accessible and touching way.

Uplifting Write!!!
As I read your poem I am reminded how I found God 3 years ago. I finally made the choice to accept Him in my heart and I heard those words. "What took you so long?" Thank you for the uplifting read this morning. I so needed it. Bless you. Sandy

enlightening light
i would not have done this if it
had not been for the light on the
hill that lead me back to God "yes, we are led by an event or saying of the wise or the flash of thought into a radical change and great dedication or pperfectt love. Love often happens likewise. very nice poem .

Dear KK
I like this because it is inspirational, as well as one of your private moments. For many people, it is not the easiest thing in the world
to recount moments of transition, especially spiritual ones. I know it is not for me.
A beautifully narrated piece.
Thanks for the link too it!

Viya con Dios !!! (Go with God in spanish)
Very beautiful. I like this very much. God is always the only light, Our only beacon in the darkness. Our Lighthouse in the hurricane called life. Keep talking to him and leading others through their dark times.
Thanks,

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GOING THROUGH I LOST BOTH OF MY PARENTS YEARS AGO AND OVER THE YEARS I HAVE STRAYED AWAY FOR HIM TOO, I STILL HAVEN'T TOTALLY FORGOTTEN HIM BUT I AM SOMEWHAT DISILLUSIONED BY ORGANIZED RELIGION RIGHT NOW
BUT WE ALL FIND OUR WAYS ONE SOME FORM OR ANOTHER
