The Journey

I've been on this journey for over a year , it's hard to imagine.  For a whole year I have held 
the reigns up here on the wagon. It's a long trip down a winding mountain road. My foot is on 
the break, can I control this heavy load? I had lots of doubt when I started this journey. 
Would I misjudge the next curve and wind up on a gurney? Up the next steep grade will my 
team stumble and fall? Down the upcoming grade will the break hold at all? The road is long 
and down it I trod. Riding shotgun ,is my good buddy God. So I will hitch up my team and 
take the reigns everyday. Before I lay down, I will humbly pray. At every sunrise I will ask 
him to guide me. I will follow his will down life's endless highway. Remember the road you 
have traveled behind you. The end is far but don't let it blind you. Stay on course, remember 
your task. God will grant you new life. You just have to ask.
