The Narrow Line

We walk a lonely road
Or so I have been told
That life's a lonely journey for us all
But here I'd like to say, somewhere along the way
We choose how we stand and how we fall

For to walk upon this earth, there's a price I have to pay
For all you do and say, and all you hope and pray
And all that you oppose and obey

And all that you believe, and all you laugh and grieve
and what you have become today

And to think the way I do, there's a price I have to pay

Walk the narrow line, walk the narrow line
Walk the narrow line back home
I'll walk until I find, my truth and piece of mind
I will walk the narrow line

Peace will come, your peace will come
When all is said and done
It's only a memory away

And when you find peace, and all your angers cease
Then you'll make some sense of it all
Then the promises of truth, that shone so bright in youth
Give way to greater knowledge as they fall

To be truthful to myself, there's a price I have to pay

Today I am working on the "Regan" branch of my family tree.  This is my wife's father's line.  I have had a major wall in moving this line backwards in time through my mistaken belief that her great grandfather's name was Jeremiah.  I made the mistake of believing unsubstantiated data instead of researching facts.  Once I cleared my mind of anything but facts and went about either proving or disproving the line suddenly opened up to me and I was faced with the reality that her great grandfather's name was Timothy and her great great grandfather was Jeremiah.  The beauty of all this is I found all of Timothy's children and can now begin to trace them forward ~!  What we learn from this is to gather all your information and research it thoroughly to sort out the rumors and untruths from the actual facts.  Today after entering all the new data I have discovered in  my database I hope to visit the cemetery timothy is buried in and find if there might be a family plot there ~!  Happy hunting to you all and remember to thoroughly investigate every fact if possible backing up the truth with several sources.
