You Do Lead Me On (Couplets) Poem by Gert Strydom

In mere words to You lord I did pray,
You did drive all of the demons away,

brought my words past this world's scope
brought back to my life love and hope

and even when my life turned around,
You put my feet back again on solid ground.

When destiny did my life and career to the ground burn
against all of this and every hardship around you did it turn.

You are my fortress in the midst of distress,
my true friend when all of my life is a great mess,

You do give me living words when mine are gone
even when all of my words are petrified to stone,

You do lead me on and do straighten my way
bring to me the beauty of every new red-dawn day.
