At the beginning,
when my health began to fail,
I turned young eyes toward
a bright future.
My eyes, now tired,
peer back down a long forty year road of illness.
If I could have chosen,
knowing well the road’s difficulties–
the pain, frustrations, and loneliness,
Would I still have chosen it?
Would I be willing to give up the faith
that has been built– year after year,
as my prayers have been answered
and my life guided;
and most of all,
Would I give up those precious moments,
when exhausted and at the end of my strength,
The Savior came and stood by me.
Would I choose an easier road?
No, though it is a difficult, stony road,
it is my road back to my eternal home.
