“On Down the Road”
Chris Mumford
Our packs wore heavy upon our backs,
As we moved on down the road;
Nothing but luck to guide our tracks,
As we part ways with our homes;
Willingness aside life knocks upon the door,
Of success and failure, neither can be sure;
Time will see you quite different than before,
That is all we know for sure;
Keep memories close and loved ones closer,
As we move on down the road;
For when our plights will not blow-over,
These comforts will lighten the load;
When burdens are heavy and blessings ill bestowed,
Remember the journey, As we move on down the road;
