I came upon a road
that twisted and turned through a wood.
Upon my back I carried a heavy load
I’d rid myself of if I could.
I trudged and plodded along
until I crossed your path.
You were kind, merciful and strong.
You eased my burden, gave me peace, love and made me laugh.
Now You and I walk side by side
and when I’m weak, you carry me.
You are my constant guide.
You are molding me into what I was meant to be.
I wrote this poem, creating each stanza to be a Quatrain.
Have you written any poetry for National Poetry Month yet? Maybe you feel some inspiration when you look at my photo above. Go ahead, try and write a poem about it, and post it or a link to it in the comments section below.

I know this is supposed to be wordless Wednesday, but I feel I have to apologize if you’ve received several notifications of today’s postings because I have been trying to figure out why my “Wordless Wednesday” title keeps showing up at the bottom of this post instead of at the top. You will note that it is still at the bottom. I have not figured out how to fix it or why it happened, in trying to fix it, I deleted this post a couple of times and reposted thinking that my work. It didn’t.
One more thing, I am planning on doing a few combination posts on occasional Wednesdays — “Wordless/Writing Prompt Wednesday”. Since I am a writer and I would like to share more of my writing with you, I will occasionally share a photo that I will use as a writing prompt to write a fictional short story or poem, and when I do, feel free to use the photo on those Wednesdays as your own writing prompt and either share your writing in the comments section or on your own blog and link it to here, leaving a comment that you wrote something too. I think it will be fun.
