Life

Life’s
Unpredictable,
Earth-shattering at times,
Interspersed with uncanny calm.
Life’s
Peaks ‘n’ valleys,
Curves ‘n’ straight-a-ways,
Hairpin turns ‘n’ lazy “S”s.
It takes a steady hand
To navigate the journey.
Unwavering balance
To conquer the narrow path.
An unrelenting gait
For striding toward the goal.
Eyes focused on the prize.
Arms reaching for assistance.
He sees my plight,
He walks to me,
He grasps my hands
And leads me through the clutter.
