Today my friend called

Whose daughter died

She can't get custody

Of her two grand sons

She sees no future

Life is at a stand still

Even though I told her

Life is always about

Moving forward...

And Change...

She doesn't feel it,

She can't see it...

Like hitting her head

Against a brick wall

But she told me a story

About herself and another

Friend today

Walking down a path

In the park

One path was overgrown

And filled with dog dung

The other was open

Wide and inviting

The two friends took

The "Higher Path"

And came across

A sign intertwined

Made from vines

Which read

"LIVE!"

Not only did she

Get her message

From a Higher Power

But it was portrayed

For her to plainly see

Made from man but

Laid out in nature...

In no uncertain terms.
