Ralph Taylor Poet Rhyme

The Journey

I'm going on a Journey
exactly where I do not know
I don't know when I'm leaving
and don't really want to go.

It's a Journey everyone must make
there's not much more to say
Unlike most other Journeys
this Journey's just one way.

I won't need a suitcase
or other travel gear
I must be sure to make amends
and get my conscience clear.

So I better get my butt in gear
make sure I'm well prepared
this trip can happen anytime
so I'm a little scared!

I hope it's not for many years
but I'm getting ready just in case
I'll try walk the straight and narrow
till this Journey does take place!

Robert Pettit February 20, 2011 at 4:00 PM That journey is inevitable, but we all want to see it deferred for as long as possible. You have written this poem very well with great wording and rhyming.
