Alone Or Not I Will Go On

I’m not stopping life’s journey Because I don’t have someone to go with me I’m not stopping moving forward Because I don’t have someone to urge me onward I’m not sitting still Because I don’t have someone to pull me uphill I’m still going on to live this life I will not waste this precious time Alone or not I will go on There are things to do and ponder And stuff to see and make Maybe I’ll even make a birthday cake God has given me life to live So I am following His lead My ages they roll out in patterns As many have seen before but no matter The next year comes right after the last And so I create a life with a past Something to look back on and smile And recount all those lively miles Where I did something fun Perhaps went for a run Adopted a dog Who became my best bud Payed off my loans Helped a friend get home Volunteered my hands Despite other plans Filled my mind’s reflection With gratitude and contentment Traveled over lands Heard cool bands Danced in a line Watched the sun and moon rise Climbed to the top Of some very high rocks Wrote down my words So a voice can be heard Spread happiness and hope To others who need it most With smiles and some turns I go ‘round on this earth I’ll never know what’s in store Waiting just outside the door Life is full of many surprises None of us know what’s behind it But a mystery over many heartbeats The next one could be where our eyes meet
