Kelly Deschler Poet Metrical Tale

The Road To Heaven

The road to heaven
It seems so long,
Its short, so short
Where time belong

It's curves, it's hills
And it's potholes, too,
Beat and bruise
As I stumble through

Tramplin' the dirt
And nearly dyin',
Finding my feet
And still I'm tryin'

Cryin' out for help
'Til I am hoarse,
Beaten paths do open
But, I stay the course

Just take it slow
Come rain, come shine,
The road to heaven
The way is mine.
