My Path

My Path

The pain inside my wounds is still so very deep

At times my eyes, they still cry ..silent tears they weep

The road of life keeps me going.. keeps me alive

Learning to deal...I am living.. trying to thrive

Forward motion is not always easy nor always fun

Although each step is guided by a warmer brighter sun

Sometimes I still long for the days in my distant past

But even so I know it's better that they didn't continue to last

Tomorrow's hopes for new days..more goals and better dreams

They call to me on nights when I am alone and lost it seems

Reminding me of the path before me ..turns my life may take

It's up to me if I walk it eyes closed or brightly wide awake

We all have trials and tribulations that we must all face

In those moments self love is needed and not a disgrace

To love oneself is to appreciate God's love, his humble grace

On my path that's been the hardest lesson I've learned to embrace
