The Broken Road, ' A Ribbon Of Pink ' Poem by Kevin Fix

You walk a path
Only some will know
A stranger's hand
You learn to hold
A fight you face
But you're not alone
While you stumble down a broken road

You keep your head
Up to the sky
As though you see
For the first time
A blue that never caught your eye
Or morning grass that smells so sweet
Then staring at the evening sky
That leaves you with a breathless sigh

And wonder what is meant to be
Why walls are placed in front of me,
Am I here to learn or teach,
The hands I take
Or those that reach
With open arms
For strength and hope
While walking down the broken road
With faces, who all share their dreams
See colors some will never know
The bluest sky, a field of green
A simple bow, a ribbon of pink
Worn among the strong and weak
With courage, grace and tears that flow
They leave behind the broken road
