That Road Poem by Dorsey Baker

Tears of sadness
darkness and despair
upon your back
a heavy load
everybody has
walked down that road

nobody can say
that they never shed a tear
nobody can say
that they never had
doubt and fear

Tears of sadness
darkness and despair
upon your back
a heavy load
everybody has
walked down that road

when you've lost
a loved one
a lover
family or a friend
when you don't know
what you are going to eat
or where you are going to sleep
tears of sadness
darkness and despair
upon your back
a heavy load
everybody has
walked down that road!
