What Lay Ahead

Jerry Bradford aka Jerry Atrixx on Jan 11, 2011

The journey is as important as the destination.

The turns of the road unfold before the eyes; but we cannot always see

What lay directly in front of our paths

No other traveler invades the space

No one to darken our way, or our maps

To effectually alter our pace

The road I travel today rest on higher ground and I spy with a certainty

Hints of beauty speak to me as I slowly pass

They keep me moving onward with a smile on my face

Fueled by hope and love, no need for petrol gas

Only that which I see far off calling me to grace

My journey has been long and I cannot say when it will end; it will eventually

I have been wounded by the arrows of wrath

Bludgeoned by betrayals leaded and blunt mace

Endured terrible trials and fallen into many traps

But they fade in the distance as I view my new place

This is very true the journey is as important as where we will end the trip.

With each new day a new beginning, fresh without any mistakes. A new adventure is also that way. Allow yourself to be driven with hope, faith, and knowledge to find your success.
