By 
We begin our journey
with no compass to guide
following our sun and moon
hoping their direction is right
from our first tentative steps
taken as we were shown
to our first leap out into
the wide world alone
our journey influenced by
others we meet along the way
whether it be years, months,
or a single momentous day.
Over hills and mountains, we
must navigate and climb
being molded by the
ever present rivers of time
at times we journey with
a set destination in mind
and others, life’s troubles
leave us blind.
Sometimes backtracking to
choose a different path
or losing our way, taking
extra steps to find our way back
Each person’s journey
can only be their own
moments we share together
knowing our hearts aren’t alone
priceless treasures we gather
in the memories we make
Keepsakes of love
as we travel on our way
The day comes, we finally realize
nobody else can know the way
The only road we can take
is the one we ourselves make.
A Quiet Heart
