Diverse Paths.

Goldfinch60



Looking back at the paths,

The paths that brought us,

Brought us to where we are now,

We see all differing types.

Some along which we stumbled

Tripping over the varying stones,

Others take us to a place

Where we need to take a leap,

A leap of faith.

Many are so variable

That we struggle to find a way.

But in our lives

No matter how difficult it is

To walk to where we are now

We are here,

Here in that place we should be,

Knowing that the paths in front,

Those paths we will be taking,

Will be easier now,

Now we have the experience,

The experience of walking,

Already walking so many diverse paths.

        Hmmmm walking, I wish it were easier but Osteoarthritis in my knees, spondylosis in my lumbar, Not quite on a zimmer yet but i have to think about how far i walk.
        Though metaphorically i have a good few miles in me yet and prepared for those paths wherever they lead.
