Ali

I’m so glad that our paths have crossed again
After all of those years, have passed us by
I took a journey without all my friends
In search of myself to lose a disguise

A second time, by chance, our paths have crossed
And I’ve given thought to what it may mean
Have I found my way, Of years being lost
Am I coming home.  Have I found my ‘me’

Since we met again after all those years
I came to find out, you have lost your Dad
He was a good man, I know you held dear
But I wasn’t there, at a time, so sad

Again, we move on, direction unknown
But I hope as friends, we ‘come, again close
