Journey
If you have lived your life
To the ‘nth degree
There is no part of you
That is not damaged
Leaving behind some debris
Growing and learning
Through the circle of life
Banging into walls
Running into dead ends
Doing your best to avoid the strife
The happiness is in and out
Like the sunshine playing with the showers
You bask and you run for cover
Laughing and crying
Living and dying like the flowers
You flourish while you are nourished
Taking the food of the gods
Drinking the wine of life
Sometimes overindulging
So what are the odds
What goes up must come down
You take the good and the bad
For every hill you climb
There is chute going down
And sometimes a Galahad
Life is always a gamble
You play the game
You can win big and fall hard
Welsh on your debts if so inclined
But take responsibility for any blame
Never give up on your challenges
You will always see them through
Life is a race to the finish
How you get there
Is entirely up to you
Christine Bolton
