I'm
walking down the road of life,
My
dreams within a sack;
And
though I always look ahead,
There's joy in looking back.
Things always seem much
clearer
When
there's distance in between;
And
we get the right perspective,
For
at last we've really seen.
For
we fashion our tomorrows
From
mistakes of yesterday;
And
we profit from the piper's song
For
which we had to pay.
We
are better for the lessons
That
life teaches us so well;
There
would be no rising upward
If
our feet had never fell.
It is
good to be a doer,
But a
dreamer has his place;
It is
helpful to remember
That
the turtle won the race.
I
have found the highway straighter,
But I
love the beaten track . . .
The
view ahead is lovely,
But
I'm always looking back.
(Author Known
to God)
"O
satisfy us early with thy mercy;
that we
may rejoice and be glad all our days."
Psalm
90:14
