who?

"Lead me, O LORD, in your righteousness
because of my enemies;
make your way straight before me." Psalm 5:8

who will walk with us
as we begin this day,
seeking to be faithful?
the God who takes us 
by the hand, never letting go.

who will be our guide,
our guard, our boon companion
as we try to keep from slipping
on the paths the knuckleheads
of soaked with water?
Jesus, who has walked the path
many times before and 
will keep us from getting lost.

who will illumine the way
as the shadows of fear and worry
block the light of grace,
of hope, and wonder?
the Spirit who, even if blindfolded
by our foolish faithlessness,
can show us how to reach
the doorsteps of God's house.
