YOUR OWN JOURNEY

YOUR OWN JOURNEY

They say life is a journey

One we all must make ~

It’s not the destination

Bur the steps that we take.

We travel the road of life

In the company of those we love.

We are never truly alone

We are guided from above.

For some the road is rough and steep

With many a thorny briar.

For some it is never easy

And the path causes us to tire.

You have a special path to take

One that you alone must walk

All we can do is comfort you ~

Listen and be ready to talk.

There is pain and sickness

And your dignity is somehow lost.

We stand on the shore and watch

As your little boat is tossed.

We watch as you make your journey

Through days that are dark and drear,

We are here and we are waiting

To take away your fear.

We are ready to talk with you

And to somehow ease your pain,

It is difficult to watch you

And our tears fall like rain.

So as you travel forward

On days that must seem long.

We watch and we admire you

And we know we must be strong.

We must help you through this journey

And meet you at the end,

For somehow the sun is shining

Just around the bend.

There are things that you should know

About our care and love

And how we wish for Angels

To watch you from above.

Take your journey and try to be strong

Have courage in all that you do

You are loved and very special

And we travel this journey with you.
