It's a Journey

---
When life is not so good, it stinks.

When life is great, it smells like roses.

It's a Journey.

I love the highs and I despise the lows.

I love warmer weather and colorful flowers blooming.

I despise the freeze that wilts them away.

I love the warmth of fire on a cold winter night.

I hate the gas bill when it arrives.

I love the precious gift that my wife is.

I hate that I'm a bumbling fool who sometimes hurts her feelings when I should just shut up.

I rejoice with other's victories,

I agonize over the pain I see them endure.

I should learn to embrace the bad with the good.

I asked for it.

I want all God has to give...

the highs have no earthly comparison.

The lows...
are what I must share in...

to complete the journey.

I press on and cling to the Hope...

that Christ will lead me to be a better man tomorrow than I am today.

I do not know when you'll take me home to Paradise with You,

the day when I will finally be free
oh the day, when You come back for me!
