The Road Is Long... Poem by Ms. Anika Martinez

The road was long.
I have reached a new starting point
My road is even longer now
I will enjoy this road
There are many bumps in this road
I am ok with it
I am of a clear mind and soul
I have repented and confessed by sins
I am ready to begin my new journey with the new me
I have no delusions of mystical life ahead
I will traveled this new road with open eyes and a clear mind
It is my road to walk and I will walk it
With new thoughts
I will meant new people
With new thoughts
New ideas
The journey will look different
Taste sweet and bitter at times
I will walk it with honesty
My learning experience will be welcomed with open arms and a open mind
Will you walk with me?
