The Signpost

You were the signpost that showed "The Way"

As I wandered along life's road one day

Like an autumn leaf, that was blown and tossed

Unaware that I was even lost

You spoke God's truth and so much more
In ways I'd never heard before

I saw such love and joy in you

I felt compelled to follow too


And many others came to know
And lives were changed from seeds you sowed

 A quiet beauty you displayed
Just simply living out "The Way"

Then pain and sickness came around

And knocked the faithful signpost down

Still, from the stricken place you lay

With courage, you still showed "The Way"

The signpost has now gone for good

And few can stand where you once stood

But I am grateful for the day

The signpost once showed me  "The Way"

In memory of Cathy.

 Eternally grateful.
