The Dusty Trail
THE DUSTY TRAIL
Dr. Jim Martin
The path that is often travelled least
Is where we are sometimes led.
Most try, however, with effort increased
To travel another path instead.
To go the way that everyone goes
Is clearly the way of ease.
To some, however, this laziness shows
As self we wish to please.
We think somehow that the “easy” way
Is always the decision that’s best?
What we often, however, in reality display
Is that from simplicity we should take a rest.
The trail that is dust covered and minus the crowd
Is very often treasure filled.
We should therein be continually proud
That we have a challenge fulfilled.
