What A Road We Travel

January 27, 2010

What a road we travel
To figure out the
Simplest things and
Return to where we
Knew we belonged
All along

To build friendships
With those whose arms
Are true, all-accepting
And strong

To raise our arms to Heaven,
Dig our toes in sand, and
Throw back our heads to
The wind

What a road, what a road
We travel to figure out
The simplest things and
Return to where we
Knew we belonged
All along.

  1. Wonderful! We chant every day, “If you don’t see the way you don’t see it even as you walk on it.” Returning to where we knew we belonged.

  2. Looks like you’ve got the weather that’s coming our way. Time to run to Kroger for milk!
