A Hearts Path
Do you ever stop to wonder
as you go on about your life
why when people try just to be normal
you see dreams put to the knife
when you walk down the road
that you have chosen as your way
and you see the beaten path
as you walk it day by day
Do you ever look out from the path
and think it so unfair
that you often can glimpse beauty
and only wish that you were there
When the sight can take your breath away
do you smile, hope and pray
only to sadly drop your head
as the path once more turns away
Why fall prey to the hopelessness
and pain of dreams unwrought
why live a life filled with what ifs
when for those dreams you could have fought
The next time you catch a glimpse
of a place you want to see
tear your feet free from the path
and go where your heart wants you to be
So don't follow the path
but to your heart be true
to be alive is one thing
but to live is something new
So don't try to be normal
if your special let it show
let others be gently guided
by your hearts contented glow
