The Faraway View

Must I travel the same narrow road back So long now I have been very far away On this road back will I come into lack Or will there always be a sunny day This road back will I remain one who has hope Can I accept that life may become more plain Surely it will be harder to go up a slope But for sure I'll never pass this way again The farther I go the more that I listen for the bell The bell that will carry me home through the air Especially on days when I feel unwell Even then I long somehow to go there Maybe you are ready for this journey too From a mountain high we'll both enjoy faraway view

Introspective lines and inspirational as well Sara.. can I accept that life may become mor plain.. we all must .. the farther I go the more that I listen for the bell.. the bell carries me home.. Amen to that line.. He holds u in His Mighty Hands my friend.. no need to despair but live life extraordinary each passing day .. for each day is a new grace luv..

Is this for one of the contests, Sara? To me it looks like it could fit into two of them, the one using "back" and the one about view from window. Your surgery is very soon, right? Hope all goes well.
