The Path of Life

Life’s path is arduous
Mountains loom before us all
Together we must forge a pathway
To the mountain tall
Walk with footsteps heavy
Scenery sometimes dull

On clear days all goes smoothly
How pleasant it can be
To dance with feet light-footed
Atop peaks we never thought we’d see

Cloudy times are puzzling
Uncertainty around the bend
Ever confident sparkling surprises
Lie at the journey’s end

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
