The Path

The path follows a river Thirteen and one half miles, sixty eight thousand, eight hundred and ninety seven feet Connecting the past, present and future People come and go on this path, drawn or deterred by the weather and wind that reflect God's will on that day But the path is always there, by the river Never changing, but ever changing I know this path now as well as I know my own past, as well as I know myself It changed me, this path My path Walking this path took me from the past, to the present and I pray, to the future From pain, to acceptance, to change The path will always be here by this river, people will come and go, wind and weather will be still, or will blow Never changing, but ever changing Long past my present, long past my future the path will be here
