Your Journey

To Melanie on her 21st Birthday

Never look back at the bramble and thorn
Today is the start of a brand new morn.
Behind in the mud the footsteps you trod
Leaving a track where you walked with God

Into the future a path strewn with flowers
Birds all a singing and sunshiny bowers.
Butterflies, rainbows, a God given sun
He`ll walk beside you dear twenty-one.

This life He gave you is precious as gold
Live it my darling `till you`re very old.
Then you look back at the patterns you made
The fruition of plans you carefully laid.

God does not promise that you won`t feel pain
But gives you the chance to start life again.
So take up His offer, look forward and smile
And remember He`s with you each single mile.
