My Poetry

The Weary Traveler

1987
This is another early poem.




You never know how much you love somebody;
until that loved one is gone.

Then you must travel down the road of life alone;
bearing the burden of guilt and regret.

As you travel down the dark road of life;
you glance over your shoulder at the fun times you've had.

And with a lump in your throat and lead in your heart;
you continue on your journey, down the grim road of life.

While you travel down that dismal road, you turn around again;
to see the fun things you've done, how you laughed and kissed.

And with a tear in your eye you continue once more;
and as you walk in the darkness, you whisper.

"Farewell good friend, thank you for the times we've shared;
and should you ever change your mind, remember I'll always love you."
