A Journey of a Thousand Miles

March 9, 2010 by brooke 1 Comment

“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” – Chinese Proverb

There’s a path we all must follow
it’s a challenge to find
so look inside
yourself, and wonder
how can I find mine?

These paths are interwoven
crisscrossed at every step
everyone we meet
is ready
to bring on the heat.

One step at a time we wander
be careful not to stray
down the darker path
temptation will surely lay.

One foot in front of the other
find footholds here and there
look around and you will see
others also stumbling
everywhere.

You’re not alone in the journey
for He is holding your hand
like a guide He leads you
leaving footprints
in the sand.

Lights are shining up ahead
there’s light at the end of the tunnel…
when the path of life is over,
and you’ve emerged victorious forever,
you’ll know you didn’t crumble.
