Come and take a walk with me,
Along life's wondrous trails;
There are lessons to be learned,
From the many humble tales.

OK, let's see, where shall we start?
Here's a familiar one I know;
I have traveled this path before,
It's a way that we all must go.

This path is very aptly named,
"The Trail of too many Sorrows;"
But, thanks to our Lord in Heaven,
It offers brighter tomorrows.

Let's walk this trail and not look back,
We'll aim high for that mountain range;
There's no sense at all in dwelling,
On all the things we cannot change.

Now, we're at a fork in the trail,
Pick the way you would like to go;
It really makes no difference,
We must travel them all, you know?

I have an idea, we can take,
The path that they call "Happy Trails;"
With the guidance the Lord gives us,
It is the way that no one fails.

We can count all of our blessings,
Give God thanks for each special day;
Most trails are really quite pleasant,
If we travel them all His way.

Let's walk on, one step at a time,
We'll treasure each blessing He sends;
Place them gently in memory,
For when we reach our "Trail's End."
