It Is Not Always Easy

Carl Sandburg:

Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

IT IS NOT ALWAYS EASY

The path we walk is clear at times

Perhaps a fallen tree might block our journey

But faith in The Lord seems to help us by

With lots of prayer and a bit of worry

When it comes time to cross a stream

Sometimes a refreshing swim will do

When obstacles are more prevalent, it seems

Waiting it out may get us through

The gusty winds we face head on

May be sometimes do or die

We find it hard to just tread on

And need to sit and cry

Amid the challenges we all have faced

Are rewards at every turn

Sometimes we must veer from the map we have traced

And accept the bridges burned
