Where is ‘lonely’?
How do you get there?
How come you know ‘where’
But never the way ….. never the journey?
No matter how you go
Walk, bus, train, boat, plane or drive
You never know the way
You never know what stage you’re at
It’s just that …
You know when you arrive!
And, what’s worse, it’s a long way back.
No motorway, no road, no footpath, no track.
No company.
No fellow travellers.
But, if you make it….
IF you make it,
And you dare look behind,
What you’ll find …
Is two sets of footprints!
If I go first…….
You’ll never walk alone,
For I shall be at your side.
You’ll never sleep alone,
For I shall be in your dreams.
You’ll never drink alone,
For I shall taste each cup.
You’ll never sing alone,
For I will know the tune.
You’ll never play alone,
For I shall be the strings.
You’ll never think alone,
For I shall guide your mind.
You’ll never love alone,
For I am a recipient of that love.
You’ll never die alone,
For I shall be waiting and with you.
We’ve seen it.
We’ve done it.
We’ve eaten it.
We’ve drunk it.
We’ve smelled it.
We’ve tasted it.
We’ve bought it.
We’ve been given it.
We’ve thrown it away.
We’ve borrowed it.
We’ve begged it.
We’ve wasted it.
We’ve rented it.
We’ve owned it.
We’ve lived in it.
We’ve changed it.
We’ve extended it.
We’ve decorated it.
We’ve driven it.
We’ve flown it.
We’ve sailed it. (Well not yet!)
We’ve ridden in it.
We’ve broken down in it.
We’ve cursed it.
We’ve laughed at it.
We’ve cried at it.
We’ve grieved over it.
We’ve created it.
We’ve raised it.
We’ve nursed it.
We’ve paid for it.
We’ve supported it.
We’ve watched it grow……….
We’ve married it off.
We’ve baby sat for it.
We’ve enjoyed it.
We haven’t finished yet ….
There’s lots to do,
And lots to see ….
And the best part …..
Is that little word ‘We’!
Plus qu’hier
Moins que demain.
