a rough road it is...

A Poem by Firestone Feinberg

7/11/13

A rough road it is, young man, and I cannot

Tell you where it begins or where it ends.

Nor do I know how you will find it -- nor

How you will know that it is the way you

Are to go. All I can say is that you are

Bright and that the light is in your eyes and

That you are wise and kind and you are open --

And that you feel deeply and well... And that

You will find your way. And it will be a

Special way... That you will travel far -- and

That the horizon will be your home. And

Yes -- you will go alone. For such is the way of

One who sees. Such is the tough travel of

Life itself. Be strong, son, and of good courage.

New Dawn

Reads as a piece of sage advice for a loved one about to embark on an unknown journey. As much as we wish to protect and steer our young in the right direction, ultimately we all choose our own path. A great piece of writing David - loved the fact of not knowing where the path begins, ends or even in which direction it is going.
