Winding Road
Ten paces past yesterday,
long after the rising sun,
my life’s journey continues
though I do not know how long.
Each step up the mountainside
is another challenge won.
And when the day is over,
I hope I have touched someone.
For the road still beyond me;
I trust God to guide my way.
With faith’s strength and compassion,
I walk the path of today.
