Life's Journey

Life's journey is filled with many ups and downs.
During the midst of it all sometimes we smile and sometimes we frown.
The road often curves to the left and then to the right.
Because of the choices we make sometimes we are wrong and rarely right.
These curves present us with challenges that we must face everyday.
Oh you better believe that they are going to come without any delay.
Sometimes we grow weary in our quest.
While we strive to give it our very best.
Often we choose to give up the fight, because we have to go through so much just to see the light.
Who said the journey was going to be all peaches and cream.
For many of us that is merely a dream.
So we must decide how to cope with the cards that we are given.
They are going to keep coming as long as we are among the living.
Shall we just lay down and collapse as if we are bleeding.
Or shall we fight on and keep on believing.
So rise up and stand tall.
Oh yes we are going to fall.
But knowing that we can rise once again.
To live another day for a chance to finally win.
Our journey as just really begun.
It will start at the rising of the sun.

The Wind

The wind blows so softly against my skin,
I swear I can almost feel it within.
The way it makes me feel,
I sometimes thinks it isn't real.
It's wonders often have me in a daze,
When I think all about them I am totally amazed.
It feels almost like a soft kiss or a gentle caress,
A feeling that I long for nevertheless.
The way it moves so gentle and swift,
It almost seems as though it gives me a lift.
It often sings in a sweet whistling tone,
It comforts me so I don’t feel alone.
The wind blows more strongly during a storm,
I know it doesn’t last so no need for alarm.
I long for the wind to blow for evermore,
Because I know that it has more in store.
