The Road

The road ahead is long and true

It answers to no one but you

On this road you must follow on

Fight your fears and sing your song

Ever and again a turn it brings

Into a garden with flowers of spring

The smell and beauty your eyes behold

Longing to touch, caressing your soul

The road again beckons you on

It asks you to move ahead and carry on

It says, “ My dear, this isn't for you,

Your journeys not done, your life is not through”

You manage to tear away from the lair

Your heart’s a bit weary, your eyes downward stare

The memories you keep locked away in your soul

Happy thoughts you’ll need on days that are cold.

Alone you walk on with no care in this world

You know not where you’re going as the journey unfurls

Butterflies and bees accompanying you along

One day with you, the next day gone

Don't fret my love, she whispers to you

I’m still here to bring you on to

Worlds undiscovered and treasures  galore

Enriching your heart if only you bare your soul

Give yourself time and you’ll see my girl

I’ll be your friend and i’ll show you the world

Trust no one else for temporary will they stay

One day with you and soon they’ll be on their way

They too have dreams and destinies to fulfill

I’m yours now and forever i will

Take you along to a world full of amaze

Setting your trails on fire ablaze

I cannot promise companionship in a worldly way

I cannot promise love the kind you understand today

The promise I make is beyond words and time

I’ll be with you even when not a friend you can find

With this I leave you to choose here

Onward you go or just step away dear

No matter what today you decide

You’ll be back someday to complete the ride!
