LIFE IS LIKE A COUNTRY ROAD

LIFE IS LIKE A COUNTRY ROAD

Life is like a country road

You take because it's there

Adventure awaits beyond the bend

It's invitation calling

So off  you go to a world pristine

With nature all around

Its beauty adding to your breath

So amazing, it astounds

A twist a turn, where are you now?

The road gets a little dark

It narrows down with ruts and bumps

Harder  to travel along

Definitely  not what you expected

Adventure?  Hey why not?

But as you focus on what lies ahead

Fear soon takes its hold

The ruts get deep and the path less sure

Now where did my light go

I thought this road would be easy

It's why I traveled down

Since  I know the road behind

 I  decide to turn around

Though many times I try and try

I find that I cannot

By focusing on the  unknown ahead

I don't know what to do

I lose track of what brought me here

I'm afraid to move on

 I look upward with a pleading heart

My eyes catch then  the awe

 I see such Grace around me now

I feel the Spirit here

There are singing birds and trees so tall

Even a mother and her fawn

What a wonderful gift this path I chose

A Phoenix in the Sun

I can now move on with  a new  Light

My purpose is renewed

This country road just like my life

Has its ups and downs

It's when I  look outside the fear

I see the beauty there

Such a comforting hearth is natures gift

A Love that fills my heart

So travel down a country road

And see where you end up

Don't be surprised if you find yourself
