A lonely road I now walk
No one there to comfort me
Unknown steps I slowly take
This is what my life is meant to be
I stumble as another step I take
I catch myself before I fall
I pray for the strength that I need
No answer comes to me at all
The day now becomes night
Darkness now consumes me
A chill sets inside me slowly
No longer can my eyes now see
The road ahead now splits
A decision I must make
Not knowing of either
Which one must I take
I take my first step now
Along this road so knew
My life’s road lays behind
Leaving a blemished view
I was never to be perfect
In decisions I made each day
But I walked on with each
They affected me in their own way
A gate I come to now
On the other side nothing I see
I open it with trembling hands
And step through free
No more breaths will I take
My life’s road ended this day
I look back now before I go
Seeing it all in a different way
I know now that all I chose
There was no perfect answer to find
I did my best with knowledge I had
I play them over in my mind
I turn away now into the light
To my rest I now go
Knowing others will walk a road
From it views of their life will grow
