The Road

Trust in me and hold my hand We'll travel north to a distant land I discovered a map, faded and old To a land where its neither to hot nor too cold Its better, I heard, to travel in two's The journey is long but won't damage our shoes Its known why we're leaving - let us not be coy We travel together and that brings me joy I've tried my best, but my last journey ended By trying to keep straight on a road that was bended So yes I know a bit of navigating now Let me lead the way so you can learn how Can I tell you how long and how far? Shall we travel by foot or by car! Child even from me that wisdom is kept What matters is that we must take that first step At night we may shiver and doubt the way May all our fears vanish with the coming of day We were at a place where peace is all we sought Though in silence and gesture, great lessons you were taught I'll watch you close as you will me Together we triumph over obstacles that may be You're fearless, eager, inquisitive and wild I'm mother to you and I'm honored, my child You entered my life at just the right time You came and emptiness suffered a steady decline You give me a strength that knows no end I may be your nurturer but I'm also your friend Sin abounds and cloaks all with darkness, You've seen me at my lowest in starkness With angelic strength you have pulled me up I drank too long on a poisoned cup If I get tired please understand The path is laden with rocks and with sand This way is worth taking, to look back at where we've been We'll start over again and wipe the slate clean This journey will be hard for me Taking you from point A to B Seeing the effect my life has on you I hope you'll see what's false and what's true So trust in me and hold my hand We'll travel north to a distant land There will be stops along the way But that won't mean for long we'll stay We won't be alone, there are others too Out there searching for peace like me and you They'll try to bind us but we must not blame Please understand, no two journeys are the same They say life's a journey, well I see its so I've asked the wrong people what I needed to know Now I've found my answers, in mercy and prayer Thy will be done, all that's happened is fair. Our bags are packed, just one or two So I can carry you when I have to With courageous hope and truth and love We'll commence down this road as angels watch from above...
