Mud of Life

Poem of the Day:

    Mud of Life 

Bound up the trail of life  
Peer around the bend
Leap over rocks 
and roots
Your legs in pursuit 

Zig zag the turns 
Mud puddles appear
How deep is the bottom?
Will I get sucked in?
My sneakers will get wet!
I’m not sure I’m ready yet 

Questions spin 
Yet you must keep your pace 
No time to stop
keep on moving
Even if you face-plant 
don’t say you can’t 

You’re still in the race 
One big adventure
Time to embrace 
the mud and mess of life
It’s what brings us to 
the other side
