Path of Troubles

Though I may stumble down this road

And carry such a tiresome load

I have a Guide who will lead me through life

Through the the path of troubles and of strife. 

Though a detour comes and we're lead away

Though the comfort we had seems to fade 

I have a hope of a comfort far better 

Free from bonds and fetters.

Though some may accuse us and say we betray

Though they may send fiery darts our way

I will stand strong and take the burn

Sending love and kindness in return

And as for those we left behind 

I will love them with all heart and mind

I choose to learn from and embrace

This path of troubles that we face.
