THIS
NARROW ROAD
This
narrow, narrow road
That
can take us here and there
Sometimes
without a care
We
can go forwards
We
can go backwards
But
never side by side
There
is no room for you on this narrow road
There
are no passing lanes for you to stop and let me by
Oh
you may sigh
This
wondrous, beautiful narrow road
That
bends and stretches for miles and miles
What
more can we ask?
The
overhanging branches
The
shaft of the sun rays
Shimmering,
glistening
Quivering
in the summer breeze
The
leaves lapping up the summer rays
When
all too soon they’ll pass us by with a blink of an eye
This
narrow, narrow road
Where
lovers meet
Where
friends greet
Where
ramblers find their seat
This
narrow lane and its embankment
Lush,
lush green grass
With
all its shades of green
The
sun just finding the sheaves of grass
For
all the native insects to hide from humans
They
watch, they look from their minute places
This
narrow, narrow road
Is
full of hopes and wishes
Wishes
that will hopefully take place at the end of the journey
Oh
this wondrous narrow lane
That
can take you on a destination that was not planned
A
surprise that fills you with happiness
Oh
this narrow, narrow road
That
is filled with keeping the faith
A
faith that cannot be touched
Yet
is within us all if we just take that leap
This
narrow, narrow road
Is
full of new beginnings
A
world full of possibilities
It
may be rough and tough at times
A
journey of being, getting stronger
Oh
this wondrous
Narrow,
narrow road
Take
a journey on it and see where it takes you!
You’ll
just never, never know till you try
