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
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
