Another Journey Poem by Colette Dright

Today begins another journey as I encounter my million mile
A journey where I will enjoy each moment
And everyday I'll wear a smile
There's a place on this journey where marriage and peace
Are joined in hand together
A place I know I'll find and live and stay there like forever

But before I leave and begin my day
On my knees to God I pray

Let me take you with me so you can know
How this last journey has been for Co

The road I traveled, sometimes I walked
And friendly people came along
To help, guide and encourage me to continue to stay strong

Misfortune of funds was an oversight to see
With kids and bills it soon became a heavy load for me
No one said it would be easy, in fact at times it was so hard
But I knew if I gave up, I would miss out on my reward

There were times I drove down some real bumpy streets
There were times I ran in 100 degrees heat
There were times I climbed mountains and hurdles I hopped
There were times I paused, but never did I stop

For the puddles of tears I stepped in and made a splash
As I continued on my journey, I ran and made a dash
Off across the finish line because my feet wouldn't let me quit
Sweat dripping, hands raised up to the sky, yes I too just made it

I'm starting a new journey now, a new phase in my life
I want You to come and share with me
Where the two of us will still be together and live so happily

Thank You for being the light that shines so brightly in my life

This poem is to my Heavenly Father
