May 2015
there are some days your life seems weary
while you walk lifes Rocky Road
they say there is a rainbow
and I too have been told

They tell me keep my chin up
and not to give up hope
and so I keep on walking
hoping I can cope

each step I take the road seems longer
I think will I ever get there
so I sit and think about it
and say that lifes not fair

I sit and then become prayerful
and then I see a shining light
I look upward towards heaven
that light is oh so bright

it felt like a mighty power
lifted me from my seat
I felt another ray of hope
as I was lifted unto my feet

I started back on my journey
and now my mind feels strong
I felt this thought of great defeat
now I know I can't go wrong

and soon I finally see a path
that led to a colorful light
I finally see my rainbow
and oh what a beautiful sight

I walk through all the splendor
and felt a great sense of believe
each step I took became lighter
and now I feel relief

these words I say to you my friends
is not to ever give up
because someday you walk the footsteps
and you'll think you've had enough

but then you'll meet me at the very same place
and we both begin to walk
over the colorful rainbow
and at the end we will both get off

we see this great big *** of gold
and we both begin to smile
we share together all the wealth
and say this should last awhile

so anyone out there thinking
that your roads may be discouraging
I hope these words that I have written
I wish that may be encouraging
