TRAVELERS


She walks a path

The night sky is her guide

Who can say what is right for her

Many have tried

The sun will rise soon

And the sounds

The quiet noises of the dark

Will fade into the light

There, cresting the hill

A moment she has been waiting for

He takes her in his arms

Cradling her, his eyes bright with love

No matter what troubles will come

The love will never leave

A laugh, simple and true

She a child and he childlike

Warmth shared she is not heavy

But her spirit is strong

Everyday she trusts him

They walk the path together
