The Road

Listen to poem:
I walk down a road on my way home it gets dirty at times many bumps to oversee with pebbles in the way I have to watch out for the holes not to fall upon to be stumbled and weak Look now there is the creek Providing all around with water and transporting nutrients I come upon the bridge That continues to show me across the road I am walking Giving a way to overpass My feet once would hurt on this road home But now I have the best shoes as if I am gliding I come across many signs some say turn left some say turn right some forsee a dead end But I will continue to go straight to follow the one way in route avoiding all uturns For I am being guided and pulled toward my home

I like the way you describe this journey through life, Stephan. If we stay on the "straight" path, hopefully it will lead to heaven at the end of our lives here. Nice use of the metaphors with the "road." Love, Carolyn
