ALONG THE WAY
(from there to here)

It’s been a pretty good year,
I’d have to say,
this journey I’ve been on
and what I’ve experienced
along the way –
more smiles than frowns,
more laughter than tears,
and friends who share
and folks who care –
yes, I’d have to say
it’s been a pretty good year.

For on this journey
from then till now,
traversing hills and valleys,
emotions swayed to and fro,
pulling and tugging
at my heart
more than a little bit,
I’ve found places to stop
my spirits lifted up
so many times
along the way
inspired and grateful
for what life has to hold.

And as my journey continues,
I’m thankful for each day,
the good
and the bad
and the in-between,
embracing them all
for the adventure they bring
to this journey I’m on.

And as I travel along this way
I remember to stop very often
to inhale the sunshine and fresh air;
to stop very often to consider
the beauty and blessings we share.
Yes, I’d have to say
it’s been a pretty good year
on the road from there to here,
stopping at the edge of the ocean
and the brink of a new day
as I look forward to
the steps that lie beyond
and the next phase
of the wonderful adventure
I’ve been on from there to here
