Dusty Road.

Dusty Road
2/06/08

the path leads
far away
a journey
with many deceptions
waiting in the corner
a different walk each day

a dusty road
with rocks and holes
patiently waiting for my foot
to watch me trip
and fall..

they always said
count your blessings child
and listen to your mother
make yourself different
from another

leave your inhibitions
and go get out there
in this big big world

your dreams are achieveable
your light is bright
your ambition is strong
and your love is kind

make time for the stars
make time for the sunset
never take back anything
because lifes experiences
are nothing to ever regret

live in the moment
dream for tomorrow
hold tight to the past
knowing it helps
with lifes many sorrows

hold on to your identity
and keep it close
who you are
is what separates you
from just being another drone

follow your heart they said
and never let it hinder
find the true you
and be your own leader

keep your head up
and your faith strong
allow people in your life
to do you wrong
its the only way to learn

stand alone
with your opinions
never be quiet
for others convenience

be proud
be thankful
and never be afraid

walk that long path
with confidence
and love the adventure
hold the journey close
learn the most

dont worry dear
ill see you at the end
of that long dark,
unpredictable
beautiful road
called life.
