The Road Ahead
I've walked so far and long,
On this bumpy road,
I trudge on up the hill,
with my heavy load.
My arms are sore, my feet are tired,
I want to sit and stay,
But then I think of the other side;
I'll make it there one day.
Once I get to the top,
I'll have so much fun running down.
All the aches will be worth it,
Because of the great reward I will have found.
So on I walk up the hill,
With a smile on my face,
Walking down a straight path,
Could never beat this place.
I make it to the top,
And hear the crowd go roar.
I see their grins and smiles,
And I know it's me they're cheering for,
As I race on down the hill,
With the crowd, I laugh.
I see so many new roads,
Coming from this path.
I look down each one with care,
And pick the one that's best,
I can't wait for another hill,
For the cheering beats the rest.
If I walked down a straight path,
Easy, it would be,
But with no downs there are no ups,
And this way I'll be proud in me.
