The Road that Brought Me Here

I didn’t always understand

Why certain things happened

Even as a little kid

It seems some of the things I did

Should have worked out differently

Than they did for me.

Time went on and still I tried my best

Sometimes passing and sometimes failing

At life’s little tests.

I always tried to be upbeat

As we moved from the country into town

Faced life with mostly smiles

Trying not to give place to a frown.

Sometimes sadness and sorrow

Were too close by and got me down

But I was picked up again

By my loved ones who were around.

I’ve never been one to give place to depression

And always been the first to find a reason to cheer

That’s why I praise the Father up above

For the the road that brought me here.
