Love The Landscape Of Your Life

Love the landscape of your life - it is shaped for you alone

Trust the terrain on which you tread - its pathways will lead you home

 

As you pause for breath upon your trail on this Earth,

There is much reason to linger and savour:

The vistas and views, the companions you keep,

The blessings you hold in your favour

 

And the cairn tall beside you built stone upon stone,

Is the beacon to your adventures and travels:

'Cross mountain and bushveld, through desert and forest …

And within … as the journey unravels

 

But tarry not long for the track lies before you,

And the expedition is far from its end:

The mountains they beckon, the trees whisper welcome,

In new lands which await 'round the bend

 

Love the landscape of your life - it is shaped for you alone

Trust the terrain on which you tread - its pathways will lead you home
