The Road Ahead

The Road Ahead And I began my journey with the innocence of a child, my face unlined, my hair not yet tinged with grey, and my laughter filled with the unblemished joy that only youth knows. The soft light of the moon seemed to be beckoning me, and spoke to me of the love I would find on that long and lonely road, a love that would strengthen and support me, and make the journey one that would forever remain in my memories. As I look backwards through time to that day long since passed I wonder what difference to my enthusiasm might a knowledge of the future have made. If I had known how hard it would be to hold on to that innocence through all the dangers and perils I would meet along that road, and just what that great love would give, then take away, as is love's want, would I still have prepared so eagerly for that epic journey, or, with the naiviety of youth, would I have raced just as rapidly ahead as I did on that day so long ago? I wish that I could travel back along that road once more and meet again the friends I made and see their faces just one more time, that we could again laugh at those same jokes and dream those same dreams, but, alas, the road is one way only. There is no going back, only forever forward. Still I dream of what may yet lie ahead, but now my dreams are tinged with sadness and with loss. Will I one day be preparing my own son for this same journey, on a road that never ends? Will his youthful face, filled with happiness at the thought of his coming journey, look to me for advice, and because of my love for him, will I not tell him of the dangers ahead, just as my own father did not tell me? Every man and woman must one day take this journey, and I would have it that my son started his with innocence and love, and that perhaps he might survive where many have not. The road ahead is long and hard, but there is also love and friendship to be found. I wish you good speed, and I hope the wind will always be at your back.
