Poem
Life's course is ever-changing on our earthly journey in the sun You place youngiest ones in the rear so family can protect them on the run As the speed we move increases through the curves and down the straight We expect to lose the elder ones because of this life's many twists of fate Years go fast, I'm the driver, steering my family over slopes and thru the curve I teach, guide, protect and control their destiny, while just trying not to swerve Fearless with Faith in the Fathers wisdom, I put my families fate into his hand When I saw my child's life in danger, I wasn't afraid to act and take a stand Ceding control of our path to God, thru prayer, was not a twist of fate Spiritual strength, Faith our prayers are heard by family within Heaven's gate The "Great Spirit" steers our course with love as he protects us from all pain Faith gives this driver strength to steer the path for his family that still remains I Steer true and help all we meet, to strengthen their faith, without a swerve Through my many years of driving, I seek answers to life, in all that I observe I may never find answers to his purpose in lessons I learned living day to day Maybe my next life, reveals a purpose why my journey had to be that way In my future, I find strength in memories of family whose life has past Making me steer true, thru curves and straights, memories of family in the cast
