Losing My Way

Maybe, it happens to everyone, one day.

We try to look for only the gem,

That nugget of truth directs our path.

Standing close to our edge fills

Our heart and soul with cued empathy.

Even then we’re still walking alone,

Wondering why all the why is unknown.

On a certain day in our childhood,

We come to realize life may not hold

The strength of time we had hoped.

Like finding that unimaginable Grace,

We will hold true to our promises.

Just getting through the quiet storm

Becomes our only friend we know.

Like that walk along my gravel path,

I will find my way back home again.
