Winding Road

The winding road, where does it go?

Through fog,  lights glow, how could she know?

Dying to figure out where this path leads

Still choosing ‘happy’ even when her heart bleeds

Smiling her best, overflowing with love

If only she could soar to see high above

To take a peek at what this curving path sees

While moving in patience, admiring the trees

Steadfast, determined, persisting for better or worse

Growing in grace, stronger still despite the course 

The winding road, where does it go?

If she knew the destination, would she still have that glow?

That radiant light she cant help but spill over

Taking in pain and loss, of course she’ll recover 

So step by step with hope in her heart

Even if she is scared at the start

This, her internal world craving adventure big and small

Knowing a leap might lead to a fall

But she loves to fly, craves the wind’s fingers combing through her locks

So on the goes, embracing what knocks

Down the winding road with optimistic fingers crossed

Regardless of the outcome, her heart is never lost
