~For my Mother & Step-Father~

Forever Starts Today

We are all on a journey,
No matter how long or short.
We travel many roads -
West to East, South to North.

We are all on a journey,
No matter the mission,
Every step is important -
As unique as you or me.

We are all on a journey,
One that starts at birth,
And will never cease
While we're here on this earth.

A journey to laugh,
A journey to cry,
To meet and to greet;
To pause to wonder why.

Some are destined
To walk alone;
Others find someone
To call their own.

Two paths once divided,
Then fasted together as One -
Paved anew with hope
That shimmers 'neath the sun.

Every road has its rough spots,
Tight corners and confusing forks,
But stay true, keep faith, never fear ...
For we are all on a journey.

Deeply from the heart
Should you love one another;
Stand close and hold tight
On this journey of forever.
