The Path I Travel On

 The Path I Travel On

I walk here and there 

Day in and day out 

Wandering place to place 

Searching to here and there 

For my place, I have found many temporary homes

But I grow restless waiting there in those waypoints

On my path, I trudge forward Into the dark night

full of mysteries and adventures, to whom I might Fight 

But on this path, I have made many friends

From the strongest and fastest to 

To the smartest and funniest

I travel this path with friends I have made

But many have come and gone and more shall

At this hour I walk with friends 

knowing in just a few short hours

I will walk alone on the path I’ve charted

On this course, I stand tall to weather the storm that follows

Here I am on a path I walked it is left wider than when I walked it first 

Here it is the weeds picked and the brush cleared away 

The fallen trees moved aside 

The path is clear for now but when the day comes will you clear the path too

When the trees I planted fall and the weeds grow back 

Will you after I take my final rest
