On A Journey To The Unknown

A Path Too Long


As I journey through this life
The path seems way too long
Still, with each step I take
I try to stand up strong

No matter which road I take
The bumps are too many
And, the hill I have to climb
Seems way too high for me

I sat there and I listened
To the things they said to me
Those tears that started to flow
I wouldn't let anyone see

It seems I'm not good enough
No matter what I try to do
They don't even care if
What they say does hurt you

I was stripped of self-esteem
And, my confidence, too
Now, I can't help but wonder
What is left for me to do

Sweet Sue, I feel like wrapping my arms around you and giving you a big comforting hug and a shoulder to lean on. You have more inner strength than you realize. No matter what has come your way in life during the time that I have known you, you have always rallied and conquered! You're a trooper ~ and a winner and I am proud to call you my friend.

Please do not be so hard on yourself. If you could see what others see in you, you'd be brimming with self-confidence!

Your penning was very moving. Remember sweetie, tomorrow is a brand new day!

With love,
Linda xo

Simply live the life you were given
That's all any of us can do, with God's help.

Awww Sue, sorry to hear that you are down.
You are one strong lady and will forge past this bump in the road.  Do not allow anyone or anything to take away your self-esteem.
hugging you, Chris
