The purpose is to be a reminder and an invitation to the wonderful experience to be had, walking the Camino de Santiago. My Camino was the "Camino Frances" The first poem "All souls" remained un-named for most of the camino, until a dear friend and walking partner delivered the name to me. As you will note it was dedicated to a very special person, a complete stranger, who showed me beyond all doubt, what the power of kindness was for.

KINGS OF LEON
After so many miles,
I sat for a while,
Letting time pass me by,
And reflecting my smile.
Along the road I saw,
A group of wise Kings,
Travelling towards me,
And the church bell it rings.
As if, to announce,
The arrival of glory,
I witness these kings,
And I tell here this story.
As if all one person,
They invite me to rise,
To dine at their table,
I feel love in their eyes.
How can I refuse,
Their offer of peace,
They stretch out a hand,
And my fears they release.
They are simple in actions,
But I feel a great Strength,
As I eat with the Maji,
And converse at great length.
Their tales of the journey,
That has lead to this place,
Sees me filling with hope,
And a sense of real grace.
So I thank you profoundly,
Oh Kings from the east,
For reminding me kindly,
That I am not, least.
And leaving me feeling,
So full of real joy,
And for teaching me kindness,
That I want to employ.
We will meet again,
I promised these Kings,
To re-live, this friendship,
With the love that it brings.
To four very special people
forever in my heart.
