ALL OF WHERE WE'VE BEEN

As we journey through the many, of ife's different phases;
                       Not yet knowing what one day will be, 
                  Just one of our life's worn and ragged pages...

           Never quite realizing through the smiles and times of fun,
                Like a toy top on Christmas, constantly being spun,
        There'd come a moment in time where we finally have to say
                                         ,  I'm done....

                 As once what we saw seemed barely even hills 
           As we sped through and over every turn and every bend
              Have now become mountains forced are we to climb
           As we Carry all the wreckage that we just couldn't mend...

                     Exhausted, dehydrated as now we succumb 
           To a journey travelled so quickly, that most was unseen
                                  and our minds are just numb..
                  As the constant rewind of slow motion reels
            Reminds us of just exactly, all of where we've been...
