Words I Wrote along the Way

It's No Easy Walk These Days

Long days and short nights are my lot recently
I strain just to see the path beneath my feet
It's dark and it's scary along this long stretch of road
It's No Easy Walk These Days

This way or that way is the quest on the day
Go on or lay down in the sand
This way or that way, decisions to make
It's No Easy Walk These Days

Armed with my past and things learned on the way
I grapple for each step that I gain
Somehow getting closer to what lies ahead
It's No Easy Walk These Days

But days have a way of turning around
And just when you thought they were lost
A light in the distance beacons you on
It's No Easy Walk These Days

So 'onward and upward' someone once said
And I end this day with a sigh
Maybe tomorrow some things will clear up
But It's No Easy Walk These Days
