A never ending walk

Treading along this path

Now, composed and calm

I cannot but help recall

Those days of fall.

I had never come to a halt -

Though I may have wobbled, I still walked

For each step was a new lesson taught

It pushed me against a world that mocked.

The track was desolated and dark

And in the hidden, things lurked -

Yet I strolled on, though with some fear

Unaware of where I was headed for, dear!

My whole small life showed up before me -
Came back in pages, as in a story
It stopped a while - at a few inept pieces
To continue its journey; it never ceases!

If I had known that those questioning moments

Were to take me to you, in a little while -
I would go back to those severe, sad torments
Once again today, but with a smile!

Now that the tunnel does show me some light

In a beaming grin, in those lovely eyes!

I trot faster, clutching on my hopes, tight -

To walk hand in hand with my companion for life!
