Re-born

The way to greatness in not paved with ease and grace
The winding road of love is laced with treacherous perils
It is by now common knowledge to all men that the harder the journey, the more worth earning
Far better to bask in love and pain both than to remain completely sterile

To love and trust
To hope and pray
To yearn to see you everyday

To hurt and cry
To doubt
To scream
To dream the terrible dreams I dreamed

I knew full well it would never work
And though I strained - through all my strife
I met an obstacle
A thing called life

Perhaps the first but not the last
And now the hardest part has past
I’m glad to have you back again
Forgive and forget – my dearest friend.
