COMPANIONS THROUGH LIFE

COMPANIONS THROUGH LIFE

So many things accompany us

As we walk our path through life.

Some bring us untold joy

And others pain and strife.

 How sweet it is when we are young

And long days hold no care,

When we can run and play and sing

And feel the wind in our hair.

Love is a delightful companion

And life is very sweet ~

We have stars in our eyes

And wings upon our feet.

When we have our children

Responsibility walks by our side.

We cherish our much loved offspring

We care, protect and guide.

Pain often joins our journey

And we struggle then to cope

With the agony of loss

When we can find no hope.

Some times our pain is physical

And grey shadows cloud our eyes,

Each day becomes a struggle

And we can see no blue skies.

Acceptance then joins our journey

And we learn to carry on

To live with  pain and suffering

Until the battle’s won.

So as you travel your journey 

Please feel the comfort of love

And know that angels guide you

And watch you from above.
