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

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.

Dear Darlene. Good Evening. Life if a journey. Yes, more times than not the road is long and hard as your words state. Yes, where is the sun and light. With hope it will appear and all the goodness will finally reveal itself. We just have to believe and hold on. I so understood your words and thoughts. Well done and expressed in its entirety. Have a wonderful night.
