Walking through the Tides of Time

Poetry for Writer's Cramp 23rd Birthday. Inspired from 23rd Psalm.

Walking through the tides of time
Through a valley innocent and pure
Bright peaceful moments, life is easy
Praising the Creator for allowing me to be

Walking through the tides of time
Devoted faith in my shepherd, the Lord
Who has always provided a way
Blessed, knowing His presence is there

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil, for the Lord is with me
He leadeth my way, He comforts my stay
I shall not want, He knows my needs

Even at my weakest, at the valleys steepest
All alone, blinded by the shadows of death
Prepared to meet my fate, He restoreth my soul
So I know no fear, my Lord's presence is clear


For tomorrow, write a poem or story, inspired by psalm 23, about someone walking through a "valley of the shadow of death" (literal or figurative), yet emerging safely because of divine aid (again, literal or figurative). One of your genres must be RELIGIOUS.
