Life's Trails

Life’s Trails There are times when life can be so hard Obstacles come up against us And the path becomes narrow and ragged The sky darkens as the rain clouds move in The sun hides behind the hills Doubt and confusion enters the mind The heart starts too wonder And the brain begins to panic As the rest of the body follows suit Tests become more than we can bare Noises are magnified And the air becomes thin We become lost in familiar places Yet all is not lost A brighter tomorrow is just around the bend The good Lord promises to never bring more upon us Then we can bare Through struggles we grow We learn more about ourselves And the world around us Strength of character is gained.
