Gather Flowers- a poem

THE path that has been given me

Was not what I had planned.

For life will sometimes rearrange

Your footing where you stand.

I move along, embracing time

With all that it is now.

And though the roads are new to me,

I still feel home somehow.

I’VE come to realize that life

Will give you what it will.

But all the hours of your days

Are up to you to fill.

SO gather flowers as you walk

Along your path today —

For they will bring you happiness,

As you stroll on your way.
