'The Road' Poem by Patti Wilburn Haney

The road we travel
Can be full of pain.
Heartaches can be waiting
At the turn of the bend.
The question we face
...Is whether to stop?
Or travel on,
Try to mend.
God only knows
What's around the turn.
A magnificent sunrise,
A love that is earned?
As for me,
I have on my shoes.
This walk will not end,
That'a what I choose.
You see,
I have hope!
The sunrise is there!
My love awaits.
That is my prayer.
So my friend,
When the decision is at hand,
Lace up your boots!
Go as far as you can!
