Six word Friday-Looking forward


A forest in front of me
As far as eyes can see
So many trails to pick from
I choose which one will be

Obstacles clutter each and every way
Still a promise; a brighter day
There's this pull in my heart
Where fear can not possibly sway

On this path, I walk along
Embracing the gifts in being 'wrong'
Hoping 'right' will find me more
Throughout, I will sing my song

Knowing not what tomorrow will hold
Finding warmth when I am cold
Keeping eyes on the bigger picture
I am brave. I am bold

God and angels do accompany me
Together here, in sorrow and glee
Helping me to let it go
Helping me to let it be

Future is bright, this I know
Shining with it's ever promising glow
Blessed am I, in this life
Made to shine, made to grow

Naropa, Africa, Music, Peace and Love
I will experience all the above
God as wind under these wings
I will soar, sings the dove
