Dream
The path we had taken together
Full of stones and thorns
Each step was hard and arduous
But my feet never felt the worn
Round the corner the road turned smooth
And then I wished to rest a while
You prodded me to move on
Lest darkness cast its vile
Now as the day grows bright
My tired limbs cry for rest
I know time is short
And you desire to reach your nest
I go through immense pain
Failing to keep up with you
But my heart feels burdened
To be hurdle in your pursuit
I try to be strong
And match each step with you
My love for you the only beacon
That will guide me through
And when we reach your dream
I will lay my head on your chest
Your strong arms around me
Letting me sleeplike a baby my life rest
