"Avoiding the Pot Holes in Life"

"Avoiding the Pot Holes in Life"

Riding to work day after day after day
Avoiding the pot holes in life
Nearly running off the road
in fear of falling in again
and drowning in a deep pit of depression
that once consumed my past.
Swallowed me whole
and spit me back out
on my feet
in one piece.
Drenched in debris and the mud of yesterday
Caked and completely covered.
A downpour from Heaven came
washing me clean again.
Leaving me with a whole new outlook on life
and a deathly fear of pot holes.
Cannot take that route again
and get stuck in those ruts
I'll never get out of this time.
Avoiding the pot holes in life
Clinging to love.
