The Road to Agoo

by truknoiz

Every step taught me trust
Every stone taught me endurance
Every rejection taught me humility
Every person I met taught me kindness
Every moment taught me gratitude.

Every drop of water taught me to cherish the little things
Every crumb of food taught me to be grateful for so many things
Every time I walked in the dark, I prayed for you not to depart
Every sunrise, I learned to hope
Every sunset, I learned to surrender.

Every smile, a relief and joy
Every frown, sadness and disappointment
Every arch welcomed me like a rainbow
Every bridge crossed, anticipation
Every moment a surprise.

Every birdsong heard, I learned to sing of freedom
Every hill climbed and road trudged, I learned of struggles and pains
Every inch of my step, I learned to pray
Every day I came to know of myself and of Him
And at the end of the road at the church in Agoo,
I learned to cry once more.

The road to Agoo, winding, long and free-spirited
Taught me to see life now quite differently.
It’s not about the road or about Agoo
More about the journey, risky, free and becoming,
I became me.
