My Way

By R.T. Garner

In the tapestry of life’s grand display, 

Through resilience, I found my own pathway, 

With courage and grace, I faced each array, 

Authentic to myself, in every single day. 

Though storms may rage and skies turn gray, 

I stood firm, never led astray, 

In the mirror of truth, I found my stay, 

I did it my way, come what may. 

So let the world sing what they may, 

In the echoes of time, my voice will not sway, 

For in being true to myself, I have found my say, 

Through resilience, I did it my way.
