Life occurs and I get sidetracked 
New wounds form and I feel Setback 
Yet, I always come back to the path I know best It’s the endless road 
I call happiness 
I might lack seeing the beauty I hold Or gracefully accept the compliments I’m told 
Yet, I always know when I truly assess 
My worth is more valuable than an abundance of gold 
It seams at times I need life’s permission 
Before I can proceed with my own mission 
Yet, nothing can stop me from fulfilling my dreams 
So Current be ready, I flow only upstream
