The Open Road

I was walking down the lonely road
Passing signs that read "You're not alone."
I turned around to look and see
But the only one I see is me.

I turned to walk awhile more.
Not knowing what lay ahead in store.
Hanging my head down low.
For I hadn't a desire to know.

Rain falling on the ground.
Was all the noise I had around.
Until I heard that sweet sound of your voice.
Guiding me onward as if I had no choice.

Why am I fearful of letting go?
I asked as I really want to know.
"Walk with me and you will see.
I will lead you to where you need to be."

"Go with faith and your head up high.
There will be times of sorrow and fright.
And although its a long and winding road
I promise you will never be alone."

Words of comfort most in need
Brought hope to my troubled heart indeed.
Breaking free of the cage I'm in.
Gaining strength from where I've been.

I walk down the open road
Obeying the signs of where to go.
And although I feel lost and unaware
I know I will most assuredly get there.
