the test

by jcjaxson - Aries

the test

it's funny where life takes you
as you head on up the road.
you make your plans, you think you're set,
you see the pot of gold,

and then the bump! the suddent turn,
the unexpected fall.
and all you thought would never change
is gone. you've lost it all!

some men would let it ruin them.
still others go in stride.
i'm in the middle, choosing paths
for the rest of my life's ride.

i wish that i could boldly say
with total certainty
that i won't let misfortune
take it's final toll on me.

but for the moment, i have to take things
one step at a time,
and forget the steepness of the hill -
and focus on the climb!
