Wendy Meyer Poet Free verse

Long Journey

The journey seems long
Rugged and stiff
I have come a long way
Where is the balm
For sorrow
From thee
I have a long way to go
       I have a long way to go
But let me find a rest for a while
A rest I need
A rest indeed

My heart has been bruised
A hundred times
Scars have remained
To remind of the hardly earned years
Where is the healing
that has been promised
For the hopeful
I have a long way to go
     I have a long way to go
But let me find a rest for a while
A rest I need
A rest indeed
