I Am With Me

Where am I now? I am with me To go down the roads, my future to see I go with myself, that's how I must go I don't know which one, the high or the low The roads that I travel, will teach me I pray Which one to follow, show me the way I tried the low first, downhill it churned full of hard knocks, lessons not learned An abundance of energy, to waste on spite Bucketfuls of hate, to throw in a fight There were moments of shame, I felt them inside To feel everyday, I knew I had lied I really didn't like the River of Pains flowing and throbbing through all of my veins The sky up above a blue, that's so sad Trees screaming and swaying so violently mad That road may be easier, going downhill but the suffering and noise, I hear it still I'll go for the high road, I think that I should Over hills very tall but for goodness, they stood An abundance of energy now is spent well on kindness and optimism, this I could tell The buckets were full of love and compassion to give to the needing, a large daily ration There were moments of pride, lifting me tall and the River, a creek so very small The sky was a blue so happy and bright The trees in full bloom, of gladness and light I know where I am now I am with me I'm on my way up with knowledge, I'll be To choose the high road and encourage my mind To be all I can be Leave the low road behind.
