Life Is a Journey

Life is a journey
So they say-
Some are happy
Some are not
Some struggle
Some do not

My life's journey
Is frustrating
I see a road
I want to take
I start upon the path
So far so good- I say

Until I walk furtherier
Along the road
What I see -I do not like
A barrier pops  up
Oh..my gosh!

So I get up-set
But I try again
Again and  again

Where they came from
I do not know
My dreams for my life
Comes and goes
I wish it would change

So I can be-
Where I want to be
Instead of where i am
In limbo not knowing
Where I  will be

There has been 
Two many sorrows
In my life time
I say-Time for a change
For a better life for me

So I have decided-
To keep walking this road
For as long as it takes me
Until I see no more barriers
Then my life will change 
for the better

Michael Craig Date: 1/23/2020 9:30:00 AM I've been down that road several times and found that it can get better. I've hit rock bottom and made it through. Such good insight makes me think of my past and hopefully I wont take that ride again. Best of luck, Darlene.
