The Journey We all begin a journey From the moment we are born And where this journey takes us 'Til the end remains unknown. Though the path is not always easy And the road may twist and turn We must always face forward And our many lessons learn. The blessings in this journey Are the friends that we will make These are the most precious treasures We should cherish day by day. Those we hold dearest To our hearts down life's road Are the ones we can depend on When we face the rain and cold. Though the journey takes a lifetime If we always give our best And are surrounded by friends who love us Then we have succeeded in our quest. ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, and I am all the better for it~ Terry A. Woodson, Jr. |

This is so well expressed and true. And you know you have some of those friends here. Good job! I liked this one.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance - I hope you dance. song by LeeAnn Womack ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ |

TerryW~ Take my hand and walk with me along life's journeying road. Give to me your burden if it would lighten your load. I am here beside you each step of the way. Take my hand, dear friend we've not far to go today. One day, one step, one friend to join you in your quest. Extend your hand to many who will lead you to your best. When you reach the end of the day no sorrow knows your name, if you have shared of yourself when others have needed the same. *Well, didn't you just inspire my little muse ? Love you ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |
