That's a Long Walk
A strange old lady stopped in front of me
With a deep sigh she said, " It's a long walk "
One more sigh and one more minute of rest
She continued her walk
Who knows it is for another long or short walk ?
Who knows when she can make another stop ?
An old couple came and stood besides me
I saw weary feelings in their eyes
How long they travelled before they got this break ?
Where do they move after this rest ?
How far they have to walk and take small intervals
Before they get everlasting rest in peace ?
Another old man came and greeted the couple
How are you ?...... long time no see......
Glad to see you again....... how's life ?
Sorry, I have to rush
See you again if God wills
Take care ....have a safe trip home
He moved fast towards his destination
I wish he get there safe
People are coming and going
Resting for a short while and keep moving
You see movements everywhere
Movements give life to everything
