Had landed, and he knew not where.
He also breathed a song by bow.
What song he breathed, I do not know.
I don’t know why he breathed it there.
How it was done, he did not share.
He couldn’t find it anywhere.
To find a song would be quite rare.
He found the arrow in a tree,
But where that was, I did not see.
He said that it was in an oak
With arrow that was still unbroke.
But song, complete clear to the end,
He found within heart of a friend.
He said that he had done that, though,
How it was done, I do not know.*
While fun ideas I employ,
There’s something that brings greater joy—
To live a life on straight and narrow,
Directed by the Lord’s own arrow.
He shoots His arrows to the heart
And follows them right from the start.
So I can know, where ere I be,
That He is always close to me.
*Parody of “The Arrow and the Song”
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
