On my journey through life
I carry with me, pride;
Keeping it under control
With some humility on the side.
I am proud of my heritage,
And those who’s last name that I share;
My parents and siblings
All helped to get me here.
I am proud of my children,
And the adults they’ve become;
And proud of coming grandchildren
With whom I’ll have much fun.
I am proud of my accomplishments,
As limited as they may be;
I found they were sufficient enough
To provide for my family.
I am proud of these poems I write,
Though they may lack artistic flare;
I am even proud of the fact
That gracefully I lost my hair.
And I find now that my life’s journey
Is beginning to near it’s end,
The pride doesn’t start to fade -
It only gets deepened.
So please don’t think of me
As being arrogant;
But, I am proud of my journey through life
And how my time was spent.

A thousand steps in between
who I was and who I am now
do I wonder about the detours?
do I wish I took the dirt road instead?
Would my path have been smoother if I said no instead of yes?
Would the worries have been less then what they are today?
I guess I’ll never know,
unless I go back in time
choose a different path
choose the least attractive offer and run with it
pipe dreams that is all my journey back in time would be
‘cause I would not have met you
and you would not be reading these words....
Everything in life boils down to an immaculate plan,
it may not be my ideal plan or yours
but in the end the voyage continues
whether we want to or not…
‘Cause it is all part of the bigger picture
and
in that image is your life and mine...
We just got to embrace the journey
no matter how uncertain it might be...
