Chicken Soup For The Soul- Redone

Afterword

The road of life is full of bumps,

Potholes, twists and turns.

There are constant battles that you will fight

And lessons you will learn.

*

How I've been helped along the road,

I didn't realize until now.

There were times when I didn't see the signs,

But there was someone to show me how.

*

How to grow how to live,

And even how to love.

We've had our laughs, had our cries,

And even shared some hugs.

*

Throughout the years with my friends,

We all grew up as one.

But there is still a road ahead.

Our growing up is not done.

*

Soon the road ahead will split,

And we'll go our separate ways.

We won't forget the road behind,

But we have to grow up someday.

*

It's time for you to choose your road

And grow up on your own.

I realize now, we're getting older,

And we have to let each other go.

*

But when you need me, I'll be there.

The one lone little star

Lighting up a path for you,

No matter where you are.

*

And now we see the path ahead,

With all it's twists and turns.

We look forward to who we'll become

Not forgetting the girls we were.
