Reflections
By Sarah Trites

Here I am on this beautiful county road, reflecting over my long journey.
The road behind me was difficult,
Full of many challenging obstacles.
While traveling this path, I stumbled over uneven ground.
But I never fell.

Tall trees surround me
I can no longer see the path
But I will never give up; I have come too far for that!

And suddenly, there it was
a beautiful stream of golden sunlight.
Its warm glow guiding me safely though the dense trees.

So here I stand, looking down this beautiful country road.
I do not know what lies ahead. What challenges await me?
But I do know I am strong enough to face them.
