The path of life, my friend,
Has beautiful sights,
Sounds,
Aromas,
Feelings.
All so wondrous to the heart and soul.
The path of life is simple
At such times, but...
It is a path also strewn,
With pain,
Sorrow,
Regret,
Anguish,
And even...
Grief.
We cannot know what's around the bend,
Is there ecstasy or is there disgust and shame.
We cannot know what lies ahead on
The path of life.
We can only take our steps
In hope that we will see
The beautiful between the bad.
However, beautiful or bad,
Keep your head high,
For you always have
A friend to help you walk
The path of life.
