Along the Road

[helwen]

Song by Dan Fogelberg, which has been with me for a over a couple of decades, and which fitzw and I sang as our processional music when we got married.

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home.
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road.

Along the road
Your path may wander
A pilgrim's faith may fail.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Darkness obscures the trail.

Cursing the quest
Courting disaster
Measureless nights forebode.
Moments of rest
Glimpses of laughter
Are treasured along the road.

Along the road
Your steps may stumble
Your thoughts may start to stray.
But through it all a heart held humble
Levels and lights your way.

Joy at the start
Fear in the journey
Joy in the coming home.
A part of the heart
Gets lost in the learning
Somewhere along the road.

That's been one of my favorite songs since it came out.
