The Road

There was a writing competition for students from 5 different countries on the topic "Road". I joined the kids while they wrote and thought I'd share some "road thoughts".
Some claim it's long and difficult, with imposing mountains and dark, terrifying valleys, thieves at every turn waiting to capture the unsuspecting and naive; others muddle through, barely noticing the twisting turns and slipery slopes that send them reeling---picking themselves up again, brushing off the dust and morosely continuing on; while those adventuresome few relish the peaks' panoramas, drink in the lush valleys' life and shout for joy at the chance for another day to sing and dance with both the beasts and the butterflies, and soar with the eagles.
Let me hold the hand of the skeptic and shine The Light on his path; whisper words of encouragement to the wistless wanderer, speaking the Words of Life to lift his heavy heart; and let me be bold enough to step out with the daring into the unknown, for knowing Who is there is all that matters.
