You say I have to follow
I say I must have my own path
You say you have been there
I say I have to get there
But you have a super highway
Mine cut by thorns of knowledge
Speeding to find answers
I walk on calluses of past mistakes
Time and again you pass my purpose
As I seek things in between rocks
Success has found your way
Blistered in the need to explore I hunger
As your purpose wanders
My outlook approaches in virgin toil
You finally shed your shoes before it is too late
As my universe is coming into its own light
In rocks you now fumble
My friend I will give you a guide
But the pain is yours to find
My world is below my feet
You search in thirst for difference
While in my heaven I have everything

(sigh) Yes, He supplies us with everything we need in our heaven, and the only difference is we must find these gifts and make the heaven and earth leveled so we can reach our dreams! (big hugggssssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet friend, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Well said. We each have our own path. We each have to stumble along in our own darkness, and find our own source of light.
Thanks for sharing these truthful thoughts.
