Wheels

Some slide in skates
Others glide on jet
We’re all on some journey
A soul’s the ticket you get

When roads scream unpaved
And trails bear snakes
Keep eyes trained on lessons
Being there, no mistake

We are only moving forward
Some days it don’t seem so
Flat tire, high wire
Then the blinding snow

But don’t let go

Plod onward
Look forward
The journey is the pearl
Destinations are evasive
Traveling through this world

Push through
Jump over
The journey is the goal
Refining, upward climbing
Attaining your perfect whole.
