Bless the Broken Road
Sung by Rascal Flatts
I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn’t see how every sign pointed straight to you
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
I think about the years I spent just passing through
I’d like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You’ve been there you understand
It’s all part of a grander plan that is coming true
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Now I’m just rolling home
Into my lover’s arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

When Michael is working out of town we rarely get the chance to communicate more than sporadically. This song was referenced in a tender moment during a rare virtual conversation recently. Even when it seems like he is a million miles away from me, I know he is never further than a song, a thought, or the memory of a touch. My best wishes always go with him and will, god willing, always bring him back safely to my arms.

That is a seriously good lyric. I don’t know that I’ve heard it, but it reads well.
Thank you
Btw…you’ve been part of my blog slog for a long time. I don’t know that I’ve ever commented or told you how much I enjoy reading you.
I just fixed those oversights.

Gray Lily, dear girl, this song belongs to all of us who have known true love.
I’m happy that it speaks to you.
Love and warm hugs,
