Grace

On the road of life
The hazards can spring
Force upon us strife
As conflicts now fling


On the journey road
The troubles we face
Confront sudden load
That burdens our race


On the  route we take
So many fork roads
Confuse and cause breaks
In our crushing loads.


On the uphill climb
The pains and hurts flare
With soil, sweat and grime
That dilutes our dare.


On the path of light
We brave cold and frost
Clutching to fond sight
As we seek what's lost


On the darkest night
When sight cannot see
A light within fights
To show what will be


On the way ahead
We gather new guts
To put gloom to bed
Forge to purge the rut


On and on we go
To seek the treasure
Of a long lost glow
In endless measure
