Walk down this path, my son,
and hold your head up high.
I know the path can be long,
but it's good to give a try.

Walk down this path, my friend,
I have been down there, too.
It's never too late to change,
just as long as you know what to do.

The long road ahead
feel free to take your time.
This is your life, and
it doesn't cost a dime.

The long road ahead
but, nothing comes for free.
Be sure to tread straight and true
but be sure to tread carefully.

Walk down this path, my son
it's not the only one.
You will achieve what you want
as long as you come.

Walk down this path, my friend
I'll be sure to walk beside.
If you know what you search for
then you will always find.

The long road ahead
will put you to the test.
You don't have to walk forever
so come and take a rest.

The long road ahead
wounds can be on the mend.
As long as you know the direction
you will always find the end.

Author's Note: One of my few 'true' inspirational poems. 'The Long Road Ahead' is also a song, but it really fit well as a poem. This poem is just basically saying your life is your own, but their are better paths to take, and that you'll be happy as long as you strive for something.
