Life is a long bumpy dirt road,
whisking you through moments that take your breath away
The road is worn by rain and sunshine,
your tears and happiness paving the way
You meet different people who change your life,
helping you understand that faith and courage will take you through the battle
Soon you come to realize,
the road is formed by you and your dreams
Dreams that take you to heights formerly perceived as unreachable,
to find that the beauty in life is within yourself
So smile and laugh over the smallest things in life,
for they may become your greatest memories
There is light beyond the obstacles,
waiting for you to set out and find it
And if there may be anything lost along the way,
let hope be the last.
