Strength For the Journey

Three men came to a halt In the middle of the road After walking only a mile Stopping to rest from the load And to sit side by side Of the road that they travelled on There was was none else to see There were just these three They could depend on one another Whatever came their way One step at a time they knew They had the strength to go on To carry the load they bore They had the the strength to go On the journey as long as time Allowed them the strength To carry the load and each other They could depend on the strength Of their company and the knowledge That they would never fail each other For their friendship and love was strong And kept them on the path of grace Strength of love to carry the load They had been given by lifetime Strength to carry one another Strength to point and lead The way out of toil and plight To the land of delight But they know they must go this way For the journey makes them strong Now they are ready to face The giants of any land And they are ready to conquer
