Pebbles

Walking down this road,

I dropped pebbles by the side,

Every time I thought about you.

Sometimes, a smile across my face,

Sometimes, embarrassed by my mistakes,

Sometimes, it just seemed like the right time.

This road it twists and turns,

There are peaks so very high,

 Valleys that dip deep and very low,

Sometimes, I wonder how far I have to go.

Sometimes, I stray from the path,

Sometimes, I realize, I can’t read the map.

Walking down this road,

I look back to where I’ve been,

I see milestones all along the way,

Sometimes, pebbles seem so small,

Sometimes, they were life changing, after all,

Sometimes, stones have a life all of their own.

This road twisted and turned,

And the lessons I have learned,

Have given me memories I can't replace,

Sometimes, a smile on my face,

Sometimes, embarrassed by my mistakes,

But it all just seems to happen at the right time.
