Eternal Trail

We blaze through our days With questions along the way Wondering how to get by and make Something that brings honor to our name Little do we know when we start the run That that’s not what it’s all about Yet we courageously walk ahead In the hope to leave a mark on our ancestral past This is important to do for we stand here today, Because of those in the rear view, Whatever rights or wrongs you judged them with, Our ancestors are the reason we are here, Here to you, may be different from the person next door, But this life, you see, is such a personally unique journey, Comparison kills, But celebration for our wins, Is what will help us remember the moments in life That we stood tall despite it all, So today self-author your life gone by, Thus far, Regardless of the number left your days, Remember those moments you struggled yet fought, For a fair shot at being the best at whatever role you had got, Mom, pop, sis, bro, friend, wife, teacher, soul mate, Was there a time when you could have thrown your marriage, or friendship under a bus? But worked through the pain to build it back up, Or was there a time, you stepped away from abuse When you realized, well, what more could I loose? Or maybe you remember a moment of dancing in the rain, Or playing in the snow when everyone told you to come back home, Remember that time when you had a sip of wine with your love by your side, On a dark winter’s night, And when you stepped back to observe all the ways, You made it through your difficult days Even if you complained, You made it and tried and that is a win for life, So forgive yourself for the days you wish you did more, The days, done by forever more, You did what you knew best, Even if what you knew best was a mess, Love yourself, as you close your eyes, Remember, where you came from is where you return, Our beloved home, This journey is a beautiful ride, A ride back home. With love, A friend. In light, For an enteral lifeline.
