The evening of Brother's referral, after gazing so long on the many photos of him we received, this song from my college days snuck back into my head and played itself many times. Feeling a sense of retrospect along this road and sharing with those who are walking it with me.
Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road.
Along the road your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Darkness obscures the trail.
Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forbode
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road.
Along the road your steps may stumble
Your thoughts may start to stray
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights the way.
Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home
A part of the heart gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road.
-Dan Fogelberg
