There was a time my mind and heart
had its freedom
to wander aimlessly through the days
but then I started walking the road of life,
up and down mountains, hills, and valleys,
stumbled and fell more times than I can count,
hit more dead ends and had to start over
I always walked the road alone!
I came across the ocean,
there my feelings built on sand castles as
the tide comes in, they disappear
one grain at a time til nothings left
the waves crashing all my defenses.
Rushing out of safe harbors...
My life is gone,washed away on
seas of regret,
what lies ahead when it all lies behind
but the memories?
Will I have the strength left to wipe the tears
from my eyes,
as I come to the end of the road?
The road I've walked alone!
