The Road Before

Look ahead, the road before. Take your first breath, breathe in the air; And just imagine what is in store. Take life with no rancor, For you must go somewhere; Look ahead, the road before. There is no cause for uproar. Hope: you must bear; And just imagine what is in store. Unending promise, like the seashore, Layer after layer, wave after wave, showing no despair. Look ahead, the road before. Do not be afraid, I implore. What is ahead will come, with time to prepare. And just imagine what is in store. There will be darkness to outscore. Yet you will conquer, that I swear. Look ahead, the road before, And just imagine what is in store.
