Obstacles

Life is a one way road; So true A road filled with many obstacles that seem to come out of the blue They catch me by surprise and grin Put lines on my face that don't seem to mend Gray hairs on my head and wisdom in my mind As I struggle to overcome one at a time Each obstacle on the road tells a tale Some closer that others and yea I've stumble and fell But a crowd of prints join mine in the dust Showing love from the people in whom I trust So with an extended hand and a heart felt smile I put one foot in front of the other and try for another mile
