Sentimental Journey

'Tis incredible beyond measure

Life's a secret made unfold

Behold the mystery unknown

When time reveals in sweet candor

Pure, sublime is a goal with valor.



The road is not an easy one

To tread along till travels end

Its groove too many:it's rough, it's tough

To the blistering feet like chilblains

Its sordid scars claim sore defeat.



Trials shape courage and patience

Heaving meekness, spirit buoyed;

forging on, fortitude commands.

Life is fearless, endurance proves

to those that master strength forebear.



Journey is adventure far advanced

Unplugged, emblazoned to its height

The goal in sight to fathom light

While dream soars high, the spirit drifts

Here and then, a sentimental journey ends.
