Life is a Journey

Sometimes the light's all shining on me Other times I can barely see Lately it occurs to me What a long strange trip it's been, from Truckin by The Dead Life is a Journey Life is a long journey with high hills and deep valleys. Day after day one foot in front of another. Dark nights of deep depression, offset by sunlit days of happiness. Take one day at a time, and accept what is my lot. Failures, like impassable walls block my way. Success provides the path around them. People appear along the road to accompany me. Some for a short time and others for the whole trip. Sometimes people act as my guide. Other times they seek to hinder me. Many times, I walk alone with only myself to rely on. Sometimes I am surprised and other times not. In my golden years, I look back at the road I have travelled. Sometimes, I laugh, other times I cry. The Dead were right. It has been a long strange trip!
