Milton Bullard Jr Shares a Journey of Faith in “Down the Trails of Life”

When life feels uncertain, even the next step can seem difficult. In “Down the Trails of Life: Lord Lead the Way,” Milton Bullard Jr. reflects on those moments through 18 Christian poems published by The Ewings Publishing LLC. Written across several years, the collection draws on personal experience to explore prayer, regret, forgiveness, and the hope of God’s guidance.

“I pray God will place an everlasting hope, strength, and assurance in your heart as you read these pages,” Bullard writes in the introduction.

The poems give familiar struggles a personal voice. “The Journey Home” looks back on past regrets while looking ahead with hope. “The Crossroad” considers responsibility, repentance, and forgiveness, while “God Cares” and “Strength in Weakness” reflect on bringing daily burdens to God through prayer.

That faith also reaches into the way people treat one another. In “When The Dust Settles,” Bullard asks whether he helped those who stumbled, offered comfort, and responded to another person’s pain. The poem connects spiritual belief with ordinary acts of compassion.

Other poems explore aging and Christian hope. “Paid in Full” brings gray hair, wrinkles, and imperfect teeth into a reflection on forgiveness and belonging. “Beulah Land” looks toward an eternal home where sorrow has passed away.

Behind these reflections are lessons Bullard learned from his parents. His father used fishing trips in Fort Pierce, Florida, to teach his sons about God, education, and integrity. His mother’s strength, prayers, and wisdom also helped shape his life. Although Bullard lost his parents early in life, gratitude for their influence remains woven into his writing.

The collection offers readers a chance to pause, reflect, and consider the questions they carry through difficult seasons. Its short poems lend themselves to personal devotion, quiet reading, or discussion within a Christian reading group.
