On the Path of Life

When the path of life seems a dream
When steps falter, and lead you backward
When bonds of life are strained thin
Is that the moment to cringe in life?

Material treasures often become severed
And eject you into paths unknown
The heart may cringe, but does recognize
The need to tread down paths untrodden

The new phase of life might drag on
Revealing truths that are unforeseen
Once they illuminate the heart that's tired
That's finally when life would be enriched
