Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:105
There's a saying sometimes quoted
"Ev'ry dog will have his day."
But the puppy of this poem
Came by train and lost his way!
"Where's he going'?" was the question,
As the friendly tail did wag;
Said the porter with a problem,
"I don't know, he's chewed his tag!"
Timid sheep, like this quadruped,
Go astray, the prophet said;
So mankind, God's pathway leaving,
Chose a devious course instead.
There's a lamp to guide our footsteps
As through life we onward go,
There's a light, its beams revealing
Snares and pitfalls we should know.
'Tis the holy, sacred Bible,
Of all books by far the best;
Full of treasures, endless pleasures,
Bringing comfort, peace, and rest.
Critics scorn, and skeptics censure,
Some are atheists, so they brag;
Undirected, they resemble
That lost puppy and his tag!
Be the first to react on this!
