It's A Hard Road Poem by Liam Hughes

It's A Hard Road

Rating: 4.7


I jumped on the train
I left this old town
I escaped the rain
I'm no longer down
The wheels start to turn
My worries are gone
I have lots to learn
About the trail that I'm on
As I look around
I see my new friend
I know I am bound
To travel 'til the end

I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

The train it did slow
I'm in a new place
The moonlight does glow
On my tired face
It's time for me
To try and find a bed
It's time for me
To rest my weary head
Morning is here
There's sorting to do
I'll sound sincere
With my goodbye to you

I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

It's time to move away
I'm not satisfied
I've spent many a day
Finding a place to reside
There's a town on my mind
It's just down the track
No need to find
A way to get back
The train I will get
Sitting at the station
The future is set
I feel anticipation

I'll travel south and I'll travel north
I'll travel east and I'll travel west
I just want to find the road that is best

I felt your excitement at the adventure ahead of you with the train's wheels in motion and your heart and thoughts racing with new places, new ideas to a great adventure of the unknown! Great write!

Hi Liam, I love the travel/journey theme, it's a great subject for poems and this one has the extra quality that it would make a good song lyric, exceptional work my friend :)

Nice poem. Great sentiments it expresses. It's quite uplifting and well said. No unnecessary words; right to the point you go. You know the road is hard but seem to feel sure the trip for adventure and learning will be worth it. Great attitude!
