Exceptional
This work has reached the exceptional level
So I'll not walk in sad regret.

I've walked this road...

by royowen

I've walked this road so many times
and sung those sad, sad songs;
poignant words in pain-filled verse
those tears to past belong.

Those memories that disappoint
the cares the soul can't lift;
and auld lang syne just breaks your heart
like cracking timbers' shift.

My mind grasps thoughts of fate-filled times
like bumps upon a hill;
those days of life where love's dance lost
a rose of hope can kill.

And yet I look at gains and loss
I really can't complain;
hope's melodies have filled my life
to love-light's sweet refrain.

So I'll not walk in tears' regret
like flotsam lost at sea,
for loss is really gain to me
from burdens I am free.

I've had many sad times in my life, I'd have to say I've been the cause of a great deal of them myself. But my life, when I look back, God has graciously repaired the broken walls of my existence, and somehow turned them around miraculously I have been a very fortunate and blessed man, and I am truly grateful to Him.
Philippians 3:8 "Indeed I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For His sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ." ESV
