Along the Road

I came across the poem from Mitch Albom’s book, Have a Little Faith. It’s a beautiful poem by an American poet, Robert Browning Hamilton. You certainly learn a lot when you walk through troubles, even when you have to walk through the valley of the shadow of death.

Along the Road

I walked a mile with Pleasure;
She chattered all the way,
But left me none the wiser
For all she had to say.

I walked a mile with Sorrow
And ne’er a word said she;
But oh, the things I learned from her
When Sorrow walked with me.

Robert Browning Hamilton
