Winnie Pie’s Walk
by Gigi Ryan
I took a walk with Winnie-Pie
Just I and she and she and I.
Her little hand enclosed in mine;
Her toddler steps in tiny time.
The walk was long; the distance brief,
She picked a flower and a leaf.
I could have made the trip quite fast
Were I not with the little lass.
I had to walk most patiently;
I with her and she with me.
This sun was bright; the day was hot,
With Winnie though, I minded not.
She wanted me to lift her up,
I told her she was strong enough
To walk with me just hand in hand;
Her trusting eyes did understand.
With Father also this is true
He holds my hand when I walk, too.
Often is my progress slow;
He’s so very patient though.
Eventually the walk was steep
Her feet could not the path well keep.
So with my arms, I carried her;
She rested in my hold, secure.
My Father is the same with me,
Because He knows my frailty.
He lifts me up on eagle’s wings,
And carries me through sufferings.
Winnie’s walk gave exercise
(Though she did not recognize)
To her legs and confidence
In her Grandma’s governance.
My walks, too, are proving of
My Father’s wisdom and His love.
And they give me practicing
For trusting God with everything.
