Along the Road

Joy at the start, fear in the journey, joy in the coming home

A part of the heart gets lost in the learning somewhere along the road

Along the road, your path may wander, a pilgrim's faith may fail

But absence makes the heart grow fonder when darkness hides the trail

Cursing the quest, courting disaster, measureless nights forebode

Moments of rest and glimpses of laughter are treasures along the road

When the road gets rough, your steps may stumble and your thoughts may start to stray

But through it all, a heart held humble will level and light your way

Joy at the start, fear in the journey, joy in the coming home

A part of the heart gets lost in the learning somewhere along the road
