Tunnel Bowels

A life lived in tunnel bowels,

A hand out to work on this place,

I'm excited and happy so much,

Blessed that things work as they have,

The small blessings that make me wonder,

How I made it this far, I know it isn't my power,

I stand still and look over my shoulder,

The staggered steps that felt like death,

I stand here and smile at the horizon,

Because I won't stop as I walk towards the mountain.
