These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

When the Road Hits You Running

The new can be a heavy load
when old things are our friends.
A path can make the back feel bowed,
before the core be cleansed.

You want to hit the road, now, running,
before the road hits you.
The thoughts inside are often stunning,
until the day be through.

The life we face can be quite tough,
until the truth is known.
To make us shine, He oft must buff.
He helps us see, we've grown.
