As on life’s road we ramble with all hopes on our back We seek our dreams and callings as we wander down each track We search for fortune, love and luck, then peace to join the night Some friendship from the hand of fate, to turn our ventures right We gaze upon the beauty of the world that seems so free We find when asking of the truth, we know not what to be We seek salvation of the Lord, to help us find the way Then meet the souls of better men who thought they’d be OK The road of life it weaves and turns, dismounts the ones unsure But slowly with each tumbled fall we learn that little more We find by taking small steps, not jumping here to there We steady more and fall down less, with others start to share We find that asking others, does lessen burdens load And that knowledge bears no weight, when freely it’s bestowed We find the answers to each quest, the calling of our way We find that neighbours and good friends do lighten loads each day The road of life we all do tread, some are long, some not We may fall through times of quest, but nurture what we’ve got We’ll find that learning never ends, from youth until we’re old The road of life goes on and on and day to days unfold It is a road of learning, of heartbreak, work and living It is a road of many paths, of taking and of giving The road of life is given free to each born to this earth The road of life does test us all, on honour, faith and worth |

Indeed - We certainly can choose our own route... and our destination - You've done a wonderful job of portraying our travels...  |

Step by step! Heartfelt message here. We are all just wanderers, if not for the guidance and encouragement of others. Enjoyed this so much. Sincerely, Regina |

Rick~ 'It is a road of many paths, of taking and of giving' And each path has it's own rewards. Very nicely done. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

Dear Sunshine, you give your ray of sunshine with every reply, at times I feel as if I do preach and could write a sermon for a Sunday morning, but I must admit they are heart felt emotions. Dear Nan, thank you for your posting and may you travel many more paths as your journey through life. Dear Regina, always nice to hear from you, may we all encourage each other on the way through life and take the hand of those who need to be guided. Dear Marge, thanks for your reply, we take from life and give from the heart. Each path is a test and a challenge. Thank you all Hope you are all well and submitting heaps. With lots of hugs, Rick |
