The Bend in the Road

As I have gone through Life’s journey
and made many turns on the roads.
But this journey with Alzheimer’s I don’t seem to want
to go around the bend.
Can’t see what lays ahead for me or what is yet to come.
I know there will be many obstacles and the journey will a
be long one.
The little stones on the road
seem like mountains each step we take.
This journey is very hard to handle
we wonder if we have what it takes.
The Lord knows the path we are to follow
but it seems we don’t listen.
We try to find our own way and think it will be easier.
so we struggle along afraid to go beyond the bend.
But sometimes what lies ahead is only in our minds
because once we go around the bend
You’ll have peace of mind.
God is with us each step we take,
so have the faith to follow
he won’t let anything happen to you.
There will be new things for you to see
as you go around the bend.
Look at it as a new journey and a
life that you’ve never had.
So the bend in the road could be good or bad
it’s how you approach it.
So don’t be afraid, take that journey
and follow the bend in the road.
