I walked that trail
yesterday,
leaving behind footprints
of doubt.
   {each step holds memories
       not to be forgotten about}

and I came across the crossroads

the intersection of life

where the pathway
of yesterday
can be looked back on.
       {but should not to be dwelled upon}

and I turned
not looking back, but forward
    {tomorrow holds riches, life is the reward}

onward down roads
not yet trodden with
haunted memories,

but where grass is fresh,
    untouched
by the weathering of many storms.

The journey forward
a chance to travel
virgin soils.

A decision

Which path do I chose?
Which path do I take?
   {this is the choice that I must make}

The road
now traveled,
the right one for me~

I ask the spirits for
their guidance of hand
    {a journey begun across the land}

I now take the first steps
into tomorrow

~come....walk with me~

it's made me who I am...

Donna, it would be an honour for anyone to walk with you as you venture into your bright future.

I applaud you as you make your journey, my friend! You radiate!

Love & Light,
Linda
