[FONT="]Stay the Course[/FONT]
[FONT="]On the path of past regret – my losses have been few…[/FONT]
[FONT="]through the morning haze and clouds, hope overtakes the calm.[/FONT]
[FONT="]A mistake offers opportunity to take another chance – it’s faith[/FONT]
[FONT="]that moves us forward – but love[/FONT]
[FONT="]that brings us home…for all the [/FONT]
[FONT="]Fear of change, it is our vital link to[/FONT]
[FONT="]the futures that once were only dreams – [/FONT]
[FONT="]to the moments set apart, where the memories[/FONT]
[FONT="]hang like pictures in the corner of your heart…[/FONT]
[FONT="]The blessed part of this path – it’s not a[/FONT]
[FONT="]lonesome walk – the knife used to carve the[/FONT]
[FONT="]initials of those who walked before; it isn’t owned[/FONT]
[FONT="]by one, that’s how others share your pain…a gentle,[/FONT]
[FONT="]solemn reminder that you’ll never walk alone…[/FONT]
[FONT="]No matter the best intentions, sometimes[/FONT]
[FONT="]life gets in the way…Use your compass –[/FONT]
[FONT="]take the new path, to a[/FONT]
[FONT="]different kind of dream…[/FONT]
