Stepping Stones

 

I bore my children, watched them grow

taught them things they'd need to know 

Held their hands and let them go

 

 

gave them stepping stones

 

 

A man or two has caused me strife

been both a lover and a wife

at times love cut me like a knife

 

 

these stepping stones

of life

 

 

I've lost

I've lost 

But mostly won

 

 

And though

life's old

I've just begun

 

 

to count up all the stepping stones

that led me here

that brought me home

 

 

I've laughed with joy and cried with grief

I've signed the cross, I've lost belief

I've screamed in anger and felt relief

 

 

To feel those stepping stones

under my feet

 

 

To know those stepping stones

will always 

lead me 

 

 

home

we never forget the trail back home,but it`s always a hard journey getting there

Great write, life I suppose is a journey of stepping stones, and hopefully more stepping stones on your continuing journey.
