The Journey

We make a journey, but from where to where?

She asked. “To God,” I said, and left it there.

But I have asked, too, why we had to start

Out of the shelter of His loving heart

And take so roundabout a road to come

Back to the loving heart we started from.

The journey has to be our way to grow

Toward some fulfillment more than we may know.
