When I was young, I lived in my grandma's old house right beside a set of railroad tracks. The whole house would 1when the trains roared by 2, these trains carrying coal were 3and far between, so I was able to 4 my Summer afternoons walking down the tracks.

I can remember the first time I tried to 5 myself and walk on a single rail. I tried holding my arms out and watching my feet as I walked. The rails were very 6 and quite slippery so I didn't have much 7 but fell off after a few steps. Then I decided to walk 8 but still quickly slipped off. It was only when I started looking 9, down the length of the tracks10I was able to walk successfully. Keeping my eyes forward I put one foot in front of 11 and step by step, I was soon walking with 12

Looking back on this I now realize that it also gave a wonderful 13 about living. You can't go through life 14 and worrying about every step you take or 15you make. This only leads to second guessing yourself and you soon go off the rails. Looking behind you is16worse. With your eyes on the 17 you can't see the way ahead. You can only stand still and stay 18 in your regrets. It is only when you look ahead that you can really move forward. It is only when you look ahead that you can see the life you want to 19 and the love you want to share. Then each step you take and path you choose is filled with love and you will walk on with a 20 heart.
