From Here to There


The road that we travel
brings us our life.
Imparting its knowledge
and showing its strife.

Its pathway leads from our birth
to the present.
Often to places
we should circumvent.

It will bring some sadness
and often pure joy.
I seem to have learned this
when I was a boy.

But the road offers twists
and turns with each day.
Changing our hopes and our plans
on its way.

We meet up with others
along the same road.
Sharing our wisdom
sharing our load.

We strengthen each other
give our spirits a lift.
That's why we've met
yes, to give a great gift.

Sometimes to receive
and sometimes to give.
For that is our purpose
as long as we live.

These gifts we can use now
to show us the way.
Along our life's road
to our last resting day.
