The Long Path.

Today i wandered down a path
to meet those that i knew
but then i stepped into a hole
and lost my other shoe

So then i travelled to the place
of which i now call home
but was distracted by the thought
of life within this room.

hours later, i finally left
my musings still unmarred
for if i chanced another hole
i'd surely be on guard.

Back on the path, just walking along
so many miles to tread
i shall not trip or stumble long
and never will i dread.

the years have passed and i still walk
upon this path or two
still hoping i will reach the home
that holds the ones i knew.

Soon enough another pair
of feet will walk with mine
forever we shall follow on
until we're out of time

so on this path we walk all day
that list of friends still grows
but he and i are still content
and i'm pretty sure it shows

This path has curves and many rocks
it didn't have before
we still walk on with hand in hand
until we find the shore.

A child now walks along with us
she's growing more each day
soon she will pass out of the age
when all she'd do was play

Our steady pace set on the path
has slown considerably
it's step by step and hour by hour
but we'll make it there you'll see

A fork will seperate our paths
and he and she will go
as i shall turn and walk on down
the path to those i know.

I reach the door and softly knock
it opens on its own
what my eyes see it startles me
i feel like i have flown

For there's my siblings and my friends
my parents and family to
and then my eyes start watering
as i'm hugged by those i knew.

My days of life are over
and here i shall remain
no longer walking down the path
no longer feeling pain

I'll stay here for eternity
to watch the path passed through
for my husband and my daughter
looking for the folks they knew.
