The Road

The road can be dry Dust lifting in the path of your footsteps The road can be wet With sinking footprints in the ground It winds with the turns to take It rises with the hills It lowers with the valleys Scenes passing by the day Each day we walk Each day we try To do all we can in our travel To be seen, to be known We may look behind At the shadow of lessons learned In the sun shining on this path of life Whether we wander or run We leave our footprints with all we do Choices are made, scenery changes We take steps of courage with challenges We grow wiser with each mile Live not with regret For you have walked a road still to be traveled The miles ahead have just begun Heidi Sands
