There is a powerful promise, in my life, a promise of rest, sweet refreshment and a new beginning, at the end of ‘ this road’ with polio. Just like the mountain lake promises the hiker, a refreshing drink and cooling – down rest. But then, he looks beyond the valley, to the end of the day, with the comfort of a shower, a good dinner and loving companionship. He looks forward to this wonderful place, his permanent home.
