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
