New Roads Ahead

Morning light, a new chapter begins

Stepping out, shedding old skins

Destination in sight, a brighter day

Moving forward, come what may

Stopped at the dealership, found some good news today

Phase one’s almost finished, clearing the way

Saturday’s the start, a fresh new page

Dasher one’s arriving, I’m turning the page

Past tried to yell, but I fought through the noise

Made the deal, silenced the voice

Now working on the money, steady and slow

Building my future, watch me go

Moving upward, leaving behind the break

From rock bottom, I will awake

Rebuilding pieces, life's new art

Heading to the future, a brand-new start

PTSD may try to hold me back

But I’ve got the strength, I stay on track

Doors are closing on yesterday’s pain

Ahead to Texas, where love remains

My lady’s waiting, I’ll be home soon

Stars of hope guiding me through the gloom

Time’s limited, but my dreams are long

Moving forward, I sing my song
