TRUSTING THE WINDS
Sometimes I have to trust the winds
To find the course to take,
To push me on, or just remind me,
To accelerate or brake.
It isn't always where I go
Or where I think I'm heading.
Sometimes I just need to know
The trajectory I'm getting.
I make my body work and sweat,
Through sunshine, rain and snow.
The end result is worth the work,
When I trust the winds that blow.
There will be ups. There will be downs.
There will be better times to find.
But I'll need to do it by myself
When I've left the winds behind.
No one knows how hard it is
To struggle day to day.
Remembering and forgetting
As I go about my way.
But one day, I'm sure, I'll venture forth
And blaze a solo track,
Because I learned to trust those winds
To take me there and back.
