A crooked wooden path climbs high

Over mountains, reaching sky

Disappearing into the night

Shall I travel toward the light?

Do I chance what lies ahead?

Or do I stay behind, instead

Afraid of what could be the end

Not knowing what’s around the bend

Shall I take a chance or two?

Yes! That’s exactly what I’ll do

Striding, over faded boards

Creaking as I step, go forward

Running, to catch the rising sun

Knowing my journey has just begun

Under a bridge, in the forest deep

Lives a creature, in his earthen keep

When sun shines bright upon the day

It’s a promise that he’ll stay away

For if he looks, it has been known

He will surely turn to stone

But when moonlight shows about this place

That is when you’ll see his face

A mythical creature, you cannot cajole

For he is the forest’s menacing troll

Over verdant land it flows

Lingering, malefic, is the mist

Nary reaching to her toes

Where upon the bridge she sits

Once a maiden, oh so fair

Now lost, within the stone

No longer golden locks of hair

She is left here, all alone

Dissuading never worked on her

She wouldn’t heed advice

It happened quickly, in a blur

She lost her paradise

They cross the bridge, into the light

Blinded by the wondrous sight

That leads them to a better place

A sanctity, they can embrace

With golden rails, to guide their way

This final place is where they’ll stay

To live in peace, eternity

And leave behind humanity

For beyond the light that shines ahead

Lies the glorious promise of life, instead

Obstacles impede

Yet Courage breaks boundaries

On the road ahead
