Walking Towards The Light

Together we have travelled,
Along this dusty, rocky road.
Sometimes we have stumbled,
Or stopped to ease the load.

Ahead of us we can see
A future brighter than the sun.
But this road lying here before us
Is strewn with what's left to be done.

Behind us is a ribbon
Of a road that we have paved.
'Twas rocky when we walked it
Smooth now with decisions we had made.

Lots of times we stumbled,
And sometimes we even fell
But, up we got to finish
This walk through living hell.

Heaven is in front of us.
We can see it shining bright.
Through a veil of dust and tears,
We keep on walking towards the light.

When you find the grail you can be blinded by the light.
But hold on tight.
It'll help you through the night.

It's just around the bend.

Lovely

WildChild~
Seems a short walk down the road,
when the light is in sight.
Wonderful thoughts on display.
