Back From The Other Side Of The Road

Diverted.

The path I walked for so many years has been torn up.

I cross to the sidewalk on the opposite site of the road.

Days pass.

Months pass.

And then one day the barricades are removed.

A freshly paved path lies in front of me.

Step after step, I walk for the first time

Forward on this new path.

With a new and strong resolve.

I understand.

I am comforted and filled with gratitude.

And I am encouraged once again.
