Today I walked down an old country road...alone
stopping only long enough to pick up a pebble or two
tossing them across the dirt road up ahead
The air is cool and finally the heat of the summer days
seem to be leaving...I feel the cool crisp fall breezes
blowing gently through my hair...bringing me pleasure
Taking a deep breath I walk on...asking myself
Why I have traveled this path in my life
It's not what I thought or hoped or even prayed for
What is my purpose here...why did I make these choices
What am I suppose to do with my life
Feeling sad and alone...unsure of myself
still wishing with all my heart things had turned out
differently...I sigh and walk a little further
I see an opening in the trees...
Do I dare venture to see what's there
Will I be safe...or is this the wrong path again
I turn and walk over to the opening and peeked through
There in the distance is glorious orange and yellow meadow
Instantly I felt peace and I find myself walking towards it
I fill my lungs with the pure clear air as I dance
along with the shadows in this most tranquil place
As the sun starts to hangs low...I can see His face
He is smiling at me...He knows why I chose these paths
Taking my hands into his we walk together for a while
Whispering softly he said to me...
"You did what you had to do... don't look back
The past is the past...focus on what gifts you have now
Listen to your heart...many lessons it has learned
Many lessons of your life you now can share...
Remember your heart will never do you wrong
At last... you are on the right track"
