Path
Her destination is unknown.
She is stretched
and travels afar,
alongside the river.
Her solid foundation rests upon
the soft soil that's underneath.
Those that walk with her are touched,
by the beauty that surrounds her.
She wants to go were her heart desires,
but with every turn she takes,
she is brought back to the river's edge
to lead people along the way.
She is not all smooth.
Her bumps and cracks show through
as the times when people walked all over her,
with little care.
The sun beats down upon her day after day-
breaking her down.
The rain and snow cover her like blanket,
and she slowly loses her strength.
Despite all that she has endured,
she remains a strong foundation.
Because she knows she holds the key
to the serenity, the hope, and the beauty,
people long to see in life.

Lanee, I liked your poem, it was very original. The way you related a person to a pathway was interesting. The repition of ideas with foundation, and beating down make the path seem very concerned with others. she isn't a self-serving person. you put some thought into your word chioce as well. Nicely Done! ,olivia waterfield
