My path

Gratitude

I’m grateful for my path, and that I’ve received all that I’ve asked. The perfect leather pack strapped on my back, endless will to complete the tasks.  Each time it’s time to buy I listen to the voice inside. Over time I’ve trusted it to guide, me to the next necessity to survive. My, have the gracious gods complied! With the silent promise to provide,  enough supplies that I can  strive to bring the dream alive. Thou shall not forget  the family I call mine,  the furry dragon by my side, my companion, spirit guide.
