Life's Highway

Sun is up, time's at hand
There's a stir upon the land
And so begins another day
On life's highway.

On city streets, down country roads
Like a stream the people flow
There's bread to win and tolls to pay
On life's highway

There is hope with every turn
A bridge to build, a bridge to burn
Here's hopin' you never go astray
On life's highway.

We are young, then we're old
Passin' through then passin' on
Like the roses bloom and fade
On life's highway.

Step by step, round and round
Never knowing where we're bound
From the cradle to the grave
On life's highway.

Sun is up, time's at hand
There's a stir upon the land
And so begins another day
On life's highway...

--Steve Wariner "Life's Highway"

When I was trying to think of a name for my blog, this song came to mind. I have always liked it but I hadn't thought of it, or heard it, for years. But the title seem to fit. My highway in life has definitely taken me many places and provided me with adventures and detours. Unfotunately, the road map that I laid out for the future, our future was suddenly useless when the highway stopped suddenly and abruptly in a dead end and I was forced to find my way to a new one that hasn't even been mapped out yet. I wasn't given the map for this highway and now find myself creating the map as I go. It is not fun, smooth or easy. Wish there was an expressway, or just a map that told me what direction to go.
