New Direction

January 10, 2020 By Annette1 12 Comments

Click here to go to my disclosure policy.

It’s Five Minute Friday again!  This week the word is Direction, and since I’ve been searching for an “N” post for the blogging through the alphabet challenge, I added the word New to the front of it.  ๐Ÿ™‚  We have the privilege of moving into a new year, perhaps with it will come a new direction.

New Direction

New Direction

Regardless of where you go,
In what direction you take
The path is always new,
And yet it always the same.

Direction
It’s always new.
Whether it seems the road continues
Or turns a time or two.

Every step you take
Is a new one don’t you see?
It’s step you haven’t taken
Even if it seems alike to thee.

In the course of years I’ve lived
In the course of time it’s passed.
Every new direction,
Is the same as the one before.

One step and then another
Alike as the one before
Heel to toe,
Step, step, step

BUT even though are steps
Are all the same,
The attitude of the heart
Can make the path new.

Or the company one keeps
Changes the tenor of the way.
An unexpected discovery,
Conversation brightens your day.

Sometimes easy,
Other times fraught with challenge.
Directions new,
Methods old.

Check who walks with you.
Follow the direction given.
Brighten your day with discoveries.
And accept the new shown.

    Every step you take is a new one….

    That is my encouragment this afternoon. Some days seem so routine – hamster wheel routine, but yet every day is fresh and, yes, every step is a new one.

    Enjoyed your poem!!
