a journey
starts with a step
one after another
mile after mile
learning things
collecting things
making mistakes
meeting people
colleagues
friends
soulmates
and family
memories etched
for eternity
experiencing…
heartbreak
and triumph
not knowing
when that last step
will come
the horizon
seems ever distant
until one day
it isn’t
what was once
a sliver
is now almost
underfoot
only mere footsteps
away rom journey’s end
each footstep
is savored
each moment
is painfully short
time needs
to slow down now
to live
love
and laugh
like their is
no tomorrow
