Tumbled Stones--By Colleen Keller Breuning--United States

Tumbled Stones

From oceans deep to mountains high,

We search for truth and reasons why.

Like tumbled stones, our dreams askew,

Life is a journey tried and true.

Dark winds of change ruffle our hair

As strains of bagpipes fill the air.

Hope soars in skies of cobalt blue;

Life is a journey tried and true.

Amidst the anguish and heartaches,

We made too many wrong mistakes.

Pick up the pieces, start anew.

Life is a journey tried and true.

From oceans deep to mountains high,

Life is a journey tried and true.
