Travel Light
Through winding roads, life leads where it ………………………………………… Will
Reaching rugged mountain peaks and valleys deep, until ………………. . You
Eventually arrive at this conclusion- each day is a gift- best take it ... Slow
Too few breathe deeply when shadows gather and when at night, lay .. Down
Recall the sweet moments, like an offspring's first smile ............ And
Leave out slights that sting and bitter words with acrid …………………… Smell
Like fallen leaves, the days turn to dust and vanish beneath ……………… The
Iridescent sunlight and summer rains that water thirsty …………………… Roses
Giving new life to all who with gratitude, acknowledge the gift …………… As
Hope breathes tomorrows new chances to scale mountains ……………… You
Traverse and the raging, wild rivers you'll cross on this arduous …………Journey
