The Road

Where we go the road is very rough
                               To survive we must be very tough
                               Do not expect the barriers to ease
                               The upward climb is not designed to please
   
                               There are trials and troubles along the way
                               Exasperating situations every day
                               But we can not turn our back and run
                               Nor sit down and say our work is done

                               The temptation to stop is very strong
                               At times the road seems just too long
                               We travel it seems at snails pace
                               And we never seem to get any place
                          
                               Somewhere I'm sure the road will end
                               We will travel around the final bend
                               There we will rest the tired and weary bones
                               Thankful that we did not walk alone
