The Unknown


THE UNKNOWN
Shall I continue on this weary path
Or will I give into doubts
Not sure where it will lead 

Should I turn around
Or quickly move forward
Not allowing fear to plant its seed

I have walked and crawled
And laid down to rest
As the grade became too steep

I have ran and skipped
when the grade was easy
Even over ruts I would leap

I have walked in sunshine
And in the rain
And weathered a storm or two

I have tripped and fallen
And been beaten down
Only to rise and begin anew

I have seen beauty
And heard joyous laughter 
In many ways I have grown

I hold my head up high
And walk boldly on
Facing the great unknown
