The Long Road

A long road ahead, Starting out no one knew where the road lead. A long road behind, Is that where I left my mind? In the middle it does get rough, Especially for someone like me who isn't tough. A long way to go before I reach the end, By the time I get there will I be able to paint with the colors of the wind? By then will the sky be bluer, Will the tears be fewer? Will the flowers smell sweeter, Will my heart no longer be a bleeder? Will I know the one I am meant to be with forever, Will I be a little more clever? Will I have found the happiness I so desperately seek, Will the stars finally be within my reach? Will I look back and see the sad little girl I was, When I started down this road of dust? Will she smile and wave to me, No longer trapped but finally set free? Will she run to me and throw her tiny arms around my neck, Will she give my rosy cheek a little peck? Will she whisper in my ear, Where I am barely able to hear... "It was a long and hard journey that's for sure, But I have been here with you all along and will hold your hand as we walk the path to our bright future.
