I've Lost My Way

I've lost my way, I cannot see The path that is laid out for me - The road set forth is dark, unclear And fills my mind with so much fear For though my eyes are fixed ahead My heart is heavy with such dread - Unsure of all that lies in wait Afraid of what may be my fate I long to see through all this veil If I should win, or I should fail - And what, for me, the future holds What unsuspected truth unfolds For I am old, beyond my prime A victim of relentless time - The world moves on and takes its toll On ev-ry worn and ag'ed soul The years ahead are dwindling fast This time on earth, not meant to last - The path before my eyes is blurred The journey cannot be deferred I've lost my way towards the end And cannot see each twist or bend - I hope the path is sure and sweet With meadows soft beneath my feet ©️1/2/2025 Valerie Dohren
