the slender ribbon

The blazing sun, beating down
melting ice within me
Struggling with a heavy load
Your work within, completing

Questioning all without, within
your loving light is guiding
I walk toward you now and
I sense your face is smiling

Afraid to err, and miss the mark
I grasp the slender ribbon
of your sustaining life today
through the grace you've given

As autumn leaves, I quiver
unsure of every step
"Trust in me and follow", you say
"And I will do the rest"
