The Hero Within Us

Life is a winding road Moving through lovely territory That inspires dreams and goals. Then it enters rough roads Treacherous terrains Wild rivers under tornadoes That eat at our resolve And threaten to destroy the hopes We had embraced when the way Ran smooth by flowery meadows. When we have been let down By those we had believed in so We often choose to change course To avoid bumping in the same inferno But no matter, every road we take Will have its own inferno. As we determine to stay the course We find that it is the road I must go And when we go beyond the call of duty We come to see the real hero Within the fiber of our awesome fabric Worthy to be called Sons and Daughters of God.

WOW!!....What an honor to be called sons and daughters of GOD, Caroline. Saving this for my favs. Frustrated at work this week and this is a wing-inflator. Staying the course WILL make us strong. ROM 8:28. I was moved by your help of another poet while reading your comments earlier today. As an experienced poet you were helping another. I love it! Happy MOM;s DAY! Gwendolen
