The road is long, and the journey is hard,
When you pull away from the life you knew,
A fixture once, now just a ghost,
But it humbles you, teaches the truth,
Success ain't gold, it’s the peace in your soul,
The quiet understanding of where you’ve been.
Reflecting on the paths we’ve walked,
Grateful for the hands that held me up,
Through every stumble, every twist of fate,
The missteps and the scars that made us real,
We’re only human, flawed and raw,
And in that truth, we find our grace.
So let’s shed the weight of yesterday’s pain,
Embrace the gifts that life has shared,
Moments spent with loved ones near,
Friends who laugh and wipe our tears,
And in creation, let our spirits soar,
Following the muse that calls us home.
