A Path
A PATH
I took a walk today
Down a rocky path
Without knowing
All the obstacles ahead
I kept walking
With a steady pace
I didn’t look back not once
Leaving my past life
Behind without any trace
The hills were steep
But I kept climbing
I had no other choice
I had to move on
Every step I made
Seemed the rocks where
Crumbling underneath my feet
I kept my balance and struggled along
The wind begin to blow
Rustling the leaves around me
Blowing debris in my path
I closed my eyes
And tried to overcome my fright
I was losing my way
How could I get back
I hit my knees
And said a prayer
Lord help me find you
I need you now more than ever
I felt someone with me
I was no longer alone
He lifted me to my feet
I closed my eyes
The light was so bright
The wind begin to stop blowing
So I opened my eyes
I was on a different path
And no one was around
But I could still feel him with me
The ground ahead of me was flat
So a begin to walk along
The sun was shinning
The wind was blowing
A cool breeze upon my face
The birds were chirping
A sweet melody
As a strolled along
I could smell the sweet flowers
And see the beauty of them all
I was no longer blinded
By the hate I had inside.
This was a better path
I was at peace
And no longer running
From the burden of my past
