At The End of the Road

by:  Linda Law

How often have we wondered if we are at the end of the road?
Troubles and pain, ups and downs, can we carry the load?
We take each step, believing we are doing the right thing
No matter how true our hearts may be..we live on a prayer and a wing

Placing family above all else, trusting that we must follow
The road to giving our lives to them, leaving our bodies pale and hollow
The face we wear often hides the truth; the cancer grows fast and true
Walking each day with head held high, no one knows inside I'm blue

No one cares what pain I feel...or how I manage, what I don't reveal;
If I go hungry, no one knows;  only my God knows what is real...
Before me daily, each child comes first, it's my duty to quench their thirst
Responsible, Dependable, that's my life... I often wonder if I am cursed

The years pass quickly and I realize I'm alone as my life unfolds,
There is little to show for the life I've live; but my God knows..
I've made mistakes, I am not without sin; I'm ready to face Him
How sad I feel that they can't see... I did my best..and I am free

How often I've wondered about the end of the road'
It's near, I feel it... yet I am not afraid...
The rest doesn'tt matter... Of that I'm certain;
He's the judge when this life is over....
The relief is plain,
as I carry no shame...
I'm thankful that He...

Will be waiting... At the End of the Road!
