Anne-Lise Andresen Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

- End of the Road -

The memories can tell us what we were and what we became
We passed the fields in rain and sunshine
I wish I could say that life was perfect
It grew weeds in our garden, not everything was easy
The important thing is not where you are, but where you are going
On our journey there became so much more

Millions of footprints with valued prize
Sorrow and tears but never sad goodbye
Our smiles and happiness makes me love you more
I gave you my heart, could not love anyone but you
We lived, now we have come to the end of the road
God's garden is beautiful, let us sit here until the sun goes down
