THE LAND OF BEGINNING AGAIN
Gardenia Merren

It is a land clouded in the fog of mystery—
The past lay behind; the future ahead.
The footpath before you confounds.
Tis' a secret conundrum,
A dark road not traveled,
A book not yet written,
A rose with petals uncurled
As you traverse these roads,
Let the Sun of Righteousness
Illumine your course.
Saunter slowly over hills
And dales in this place
Carrying fragrant bouquets of forgiveness roses
Strew flowers of mercy, temperance and love.
Take Jesus's hand
Make Him first, best and last in your life
And Joy, peace and happiness will attend
All your way.
