The Spirit of God--By John W. (Bill) Williams--United States

The Spirit of God

Courage walks

in the shadows

of loneliness;

it faces shouts

of self-willed

crowds.  But always

it looks ahead

with hope;

it flies

like the spirit

of an eagle,

trusting the wings

of faith; it moves

ever so steadily

toward higher

mountains, building

its nest in the safety

of God’s

watchful eyes.
