The Path Before Me

The path before me I see

I've traveled this path by walking

In valleys of woe and hilltops of joys

The path before me I see

Trails behind me

The terrain I could not change

The path before me I see

Now I face a mountain

There is no way around it

The path before me I see

I'll start at the bottom

Slip and stumble some to thinner air

The path before me I see

I've never climbed a mountain

I plan but I still make mistakes

The path before me I see

Character capability challenged

Gut wrenching effort sweat and tears

The path before me I see

Looking down a sunshine lit

Slow decline on the path of the rest of my life
