I walk the road

The long, winding road toward eternity is often filled with potholes and pitfalls, disappointment and despair. It’s fraught with unmet promises, unfaithful friends, and sadness.

But not every step in the journey is difficult. In fact, most are light and easy and joyous. But when the road narrows and the fear creeps in, suddenly you wonder. “Should I turn back.”

There’s still a distant light that beckons me

The road can be a lonely one. Friends will disappoint. Lifetime partners can abandon you. Brothers and sisters will fall to their own selfishness. And you will be alone.

But there’s a hope.

Trudging along the searing pain of yet another hill pulls every muscle. The cold from the headlong wind chills you. The bitter smell of a distant rot engulfs you.
