Lifes Highway
I’ve been traveling life highway for so many years,
Some days were laughter and some days were tears.
Some days I would be so happy and acting like a clown,
Then there were some days you wouldn’t want me around.
I have seen my friends slowly pass away,
And I sometimes wonder when is it going to be my day.
I have seen people take a huge fall,
From having everything, to having nothing at all.
I’ve seen babies crying because they have been neglected,
Used, abused and left naked.
Naked, because no one care,
Naked on the inside, because no reasonable adult was there.
So much pressure & stress being placed in our lap,
That I have seen the strongest person just snap.
I have traveled this highway for so many years,
And along this highway, I’ve had plenty of fears.
Fears of not knowing the unknown,
Some of us have the fear of just being alone.
They say what don’t kill you, only makes you strong,
But there are some days I think that statement is wrong.
But one statement that I know is true,
And that is God will see you through.
While you’re traveling this highway of life,
Let me give you one piece of advice.
Ditches, cracks and even a pot hole or two you may hit,
But whatever you do, don’t give up and please don’t quit.
