An iridescent sparkle that brings light to my heart

And reminds me everyday, how great Thou art.

The road was rough and the journey heavy laden,

But now my eyes are seeing what I only once believed in.

What lies around the bend no one can fully know

Except the God who waters and tends so that

We will continue to grow.

Is this real or am I merely dreaming,

As I often want to do.

I can’t wait to see what else life holds

When I follow after You.

A short poem by Emily McAllister (Hamsher)
