QUOTES
YOU HAVE TWO CHOICES. TAKE THE ROAD OF SORROW OR TAKE THE PATH OF HOPE.
Waves rush over me
As my toes sink in the sand
Reliving moments from before
Washing ore me new life
Looking out ore the horizon
Trying to see my future
Hazy skies cloud my mind
Nothing is crystal clear
An empty shell comes in my view
I kneel down and pick it up
Peering inside I speak softly
Are you in here or have you also moved on
Reaching for higher grounds
Where prey can never find you
I turn my ear and listen
To the echoes of once lived life
I place it in my pocket and
Carry this close to my heart
Where I can connect with
What this poor creature has endured
Already in its short life
Looking down and forward
Rubble laying in my path
Who has walked my footprints
What thoughts crossed their mind
As they looked out over the horizon
Trying to figure out their next plan
I have reached the end of the path
My walk is now complete
Make my way back to my beginning
Answers still remain questions
I see a masterpiece as a
Turtle is giving everything she has
To bury her eggs deep within the
Grains of sand, protecting it
Until it is time to be born
Life continues no matter
What is on our mind
No matter where we are
Life moves forward with
Or without us
I look ahead and see the steps
Taking me back to my own thoughts.

To those that remember these times….
Pizza Hut, McDonald’s,and instant coffee were unheard of.
