No Lonely Roads Of Faith

A poem about how we sometimes feel.

To unsee the world in front of thee

Be able to withstand the one left behind

Again, make magic happen for the world around

Enjoy a purpose that fills you with glee

--

Be not alone inside the crowd so near

Reach out and know them one and all

Love the differences, making them so unique

For one of them shall have the most understanding ear

--

Build things around you that give you feelings of fullness

Do not forget to stop along the way and smell the roses

Ride the world's roads of both peace and chaos with strength

Survive and embrace the adventures and treasure moments of dullness

--

Not all times will be that which we desire

Troubles come for all those who dare to try living

Think not that you're alone when things become so tough

Do not forget this isn't your first time coming from the fire

--

Only the old may hug the wonders of quiet and peace in life

Be not weary of facing the struggles

You'll survive all things thrown at you

You'll become as sharpened as a warrior's knife

--

Remember, you don't walk the journey alone

Understanding voices only an arm away

Be the mighty and not afraid to weep

Only the cold will weep none

--

Take the road and be not scared

The hardest of your journeys require faith

They'll test you deep into your bones

But be not doubtful someone out there cared

Writing has become more important as I live with cancer. It's a therapy, it's an escape, and it's a way to do something lasting that hopefully leaves an impression.
