Hearts Journey
When one soul finds another fair,
Curiosity is piqued - love in the air.
The journey of heart, of mind begins.
A burning fire swells within.
And if both souls-draw together.
Upon a path they'll walk-forever.
A journey begins, if their love does awake.
Only if both hearts, do not forsake.
But travel along, side by side keeping strong.
The heart of the other, when their day has been long.
Only when each one takes time to partake,
In the joys and the hardships that life will sure make.
These two souls bond closer-with each day that's past.
Taking comfort in building a love that will last.
It is trust, it is honor and respect there's no doubt.
It's a choice that we make-nothing to figure out.
As the years stack up slowly,then quickly and when,
The journey of one ends and then they transcend.
But one soul is left on the path they did forge,
Separated now, by deaths mighty gorge.
The soul that's remaining feels no hope left in sight.
The path seems so narrow, and dark as the night.
Then through the black-hopeless-seeming abyss,
Takes hold the memory-of your tender kiss.
Suddenly the trail where your broke down on all fours,
Seems wider and brighter than ever before.
For your heart shared a journey most patient and fine.
And the truest of Love, it does last for all time.
So you lift yourself up and return to the path,
For this is what we are to do against wrath.
The Love that you share it endures till the end.
No passing away-can take memories my friend.
