About This Poem
MI AMIGA
I walked with you
For just one mile today.
I felt the joy
Of reaching out
And the touching
Of our hands.
I heard a sweet song
In every word you spoke,
And clearly understood
The message of your heart.
When I walked with you
I never saw the hills we climbed,
Or felt the many rocks
Beneath my tired feet.
Your awesome burden
Seemed so light
When added unto mine.
I only saw the flowers
Reflected in your eyes
And felt the velvet
Of your touch
While pleasure soon became
The destination of my path .
. . . Now . . .
Our walk has ended;
The empty path seems wide,
The weeds, the dust, and rocks
Crowd every step I take.
. . . Until . . .
I think of you
And the mile we walked today.
