Rocky Road

Life's a rocky road sometimes,
It catches us by surprise,
It takes a while for us to choose,
To open up and realize,
That despite the pain,
The miserable rain,
And all the shame,
Light shines through,
The darkest clouds,
To a place where previously
No happiness was allowed.
Losses come in many forms
And tear us to the core
We pray and beg, please no more
And wonder what else is in store
But if you choose
And take the time
You'll see the beauty and rhyme
The poetry in life itself
If you raise the bar
You'll go far
In the proverbial car
That is life.
