The Path Before Me

Several years ago I wrote a poem for my brother's retirement ... yes retirement! I am re-publishing it here today to give people encouragement and hope.

The Path Before Me

I look ahead at the path before me,
As I cross the obstacles that abound,
I don't know what's beyond the tress
I'll stand alert on solid ground.

I'll push on forward,
Even as I take a glance behind,
Pressing on and never turning backward,
No fear of challenges that I may find.

So I stand at this place and time,
Not knowing what the future holds,
As I begin my years of prime,
Trusting GOD, I will be bold.
