Knot of Life

My knot of life I keep you with me
When times are bleak you remind me
That I am right where I need to be
Wherever I am upon my journey is now the right place for me

My knot of life you keep me grounded
When I need to remember that I am okay
You show me that my path is right this way
My fears and misgivings you allay
You remind me that I am on my way

My knot of life your paths are many
These paths they wind, separate and rejoin together
Where to start is one choice from many
Which fork to take I must decide and know that it is right, wherever
You remind me that I am on my way

My knot of life allows freewill
Although I know upon my right path is life’s will
I am always exactly where I need to be
To have the life that is right for me
My destination is always the same place

My knot of life you ensure
That wherever I travel
Whichever way I choose
Even when I fall, I cannot lose
Even if I stumble
You keep me grounded and humble

My knot of life wherever my journey begins
Wherever my journey takes me
My path is sure
My path is right
I am always right where I need to be

My knot of life you let me feel
Whichever path I choose is real
However long my path becomes
My journey home is not surpassed
My place is always held fast
My knot of life you tell me that I’m home
My knot of life you remind me that I’m not alone
My knot of life you take me home
No matter where or how far I roam
No matter if I lose my way
No matter how from my path I stray
Along my journey there is no regret
Like a loving hand holding mine every step of my way
My knot of life you take me home
