Rocky Roads

Turned sweet 16 -
started working the very next day...

haven't stopped since.

Turned 18 -
had my sweet son the very next month...

he's still here.

Turned 26 -
graduated college and had a bachelor party...

Eventually got the job I hoped for.

Turned 27 -
got married and bought a house...

and then another.

Milestones in life
are more like rocks.

The more you climb,
the more you seek -

the more you seek,
the further you go -

the further you go,
the older you get -

the older you get,
the more you understand -

Milestones in life
are more like rocks -

and the more rocks you climb
the stronger you get...

I haven't been climbing this long

to quit now...

I will achieve -
I will believe...

in myself.
