A Journey Through Life


from the ABC set Proems

"So long a road behind me,
Much longer ahead;
This journey through life,
When will it ever end?"

"I look back and I see my foot prints;
A few hops of joy, and some steps of ease;
But there were marks that show me on all fours;
It was there where I stumbled, fell and did crawl.

"For I traveled not in a leveled highway;
Where mirages of deceit led many men astray;
But through the forests, along the ledges;
Where sweats abound, and even tears.

"There were ups, there were downs;
Sometimes... even lower;
But this narrow road that I have traveled;
To His Goodness... it got me closer.

"My life ...
May not have a good name to call;
May not cause an applause to roll;
But this one thing I know for sure;
I took my time, ... and lived it full."
