LIFE ON THE TRAIL

Life  on the Trail

Galloping along the trail of life

Carefree and irresponsible

Not worrying about things that may cause me strife

Finding life ahead quite improbable

Before I can finish above what I said

Came the soulmate for the rest of my life

In a wink of an eye we were happily wed

Sticking to vows making us husband and wife

Trotting together on a fast paced journey

On the lane straight ahead was our life

Came a curve in the road we reined 'em in firmly

But what happened was really quite nice

Now three of us rode, one on a pony

Keeping up he had rode for his life

Raising him up, the road was quite stoney

But together the three of us thrived

Along our path t'was like life in the city

Our teen loped from one plan to another

The two of us had slowed down, what a pity

We barely kept up to our son's world of wonder

Now plodding along what remained was the dust

Of our son riding off on his own

Who would have guessed what had come of our lust

Was the best thing that we've ever known

With a family of his own he rarely stops moving

When he does, we meet on the trail

All in all I find it quite amusing

We're being passed by each turtle and  snail
