Life’s Blessings
Our life is a journey throughout very big cities
That has sidewalks, streets, highways, and alleys.
Your travelling down each path way
Following the directions on the signs by the road.
And as time continues to pass, day by day
You go from an alley to a street at the crossroad.
You begin a day, walking the sidewalk
Looking all over the city
Trying to choose which road you should walk.
You choose an alley to the other side of a building
To get a better view of what you haven’t seen.
You see the busyness of the side where everything is moving.
You are terrified.
You turn around then you realize that want to move on
So you cross your fingers and get into a car
(You had to get going before everything is gone).
So you ride down a street,
Until you came to a meet,
Of the street and the avenue.
You take a full minute
To scan all the cars behind you
Some you’ve seen but, some you haven’t.
Of the cars that you’ve seen
You choose one that you’ll follow
After all, this side of the city is somewhere you’ve never been.
So you have a company for this ride.
You both go on the same boulevard
Until you both realize that its time you hit the highway
And life would not be as easy (in fact it’ll be twice as hard).
Cars are booming by in different sizes and speeds
The road’s changing at the highway’s needs.
You lose your way a time or two
You keep wishing you knew what to do.
You turn the corner just around the bend,
And you come face to face with a dead end.
You pull out the map your companion gave you
And realize that without them there isn’t a thing you could do.
So you put your car into reverse
And you back away from the end
Knowing that the situation could have been worse
That you only have to find your friend.
Your companion was a car’s length from behind you
But your tinted windshield blinded you
You forgot that your companion was on the journey with you
That even when you took the wrong turn
Your companion knew what to do;
He knew not to leave you
Because the highway’s a confusing place
When you’re traveling cross-country
Trying to find new faces
And the place where you belong.
Your companion knew that it was just yesterday
That you were traveling down an alley
Your companion knew that it was just yesterday
That you begun this journey
And your companion knew that it was just yesterday
That a blessing came his way:
YOU…
