about

I have never been one to follow the “easy path”. As a result I have had to stay open to many eventualities that I did not expect nor intend. I love being on the road and meeting new friends as well as moving forward to meet that next new horizon.

lyrics

The Road Seldom Travelled


So long in thoughts I have wandered this highway
On four whirring wheels with acres of sky
Traversing black ribbons where little else matters
Only dreams of tomorrow in mind
Though dreams keep me sane they just can’t keep me warm
And your love is the light that holds darkness at bay

CHORUS: Let me wander down roads of brown dirt and gravel
Let me pause where the sea touches sky
Let whispering winds flow gently around me
Let me rest for a time in your arms
Let me rest for a time in your arms

At times I have reached the goals I intended
At times I’ve had no destination in mind
Seldom they’ve equaled my great expectations
And restlessness grew when I lingered too long
Each gentle sunrise stirs my heart into waking
And warm knowing breezes they whisper my name

CHORUS: Let me wander down roads...

Often I find it’s the journey that matters
The places, the people you meet on the way
Can shape you in ways you never intended
And friends become family wherever I’ve strayed
Though roads seldom travelled have made me much wiser
Be thoughtful when choosing the right road for you

CHORUS: Let me wander down roads...

REPEAT CHORUS
