Direction

KATHRINE H. WILLIAMS

Lord, when my footsteps pause at those detoursAlong life's road, I pray Thee let me seeThy pleasures wiser than the world's allures;And let me choose the path that goes to Thee,Remembering that vacillation findsAn ever-clouded scene, wherein no riftAbove illumes Thy certain way that windsLike gleaming ribbon through this shadow-drift.
