No Map to Guide my Path
–
I never thought I would do what I’ve done
or say what I’ve said
Never in a million years did I see coming what showed up
in my life
what crossed my path
what knocked me down
what held me tight
and almost took my last breath
If I say never, life says ‚wait for it‘
There is no guarantee
No map to guide my path.
There’s failure and a lot of it
There’s tumbling, crying, pain, and resignation
But hell yea there’s a lot of laughter, trust, love, and determination
The mountain might hide my view to what lies ahead
but it’s never about conquering the mountain, but about conquering the head
So here I go and stumble and stand up as long as I can
I am willing to do
what I never thought
I would go through
Life keeps throwing stuff my way
There is no guarantee
No map to guide my way
Failure, oh a lot of it
But laughter, love, and determination,
is what I build my house on
So I go without knowing
and open my arms
to whatever may come
may it be beauty or harm
every step, or just a half
will be perfect as it is
I never thought I would
There is no guarantee
No map to be misread
It’s not about conquering the mountain,
but about conquering the head.
