I was on one side
She on the other
Both on the same path
One daughter one mother
We went the same direction
Parallel and side by side
The median between us
Made it a difficult ride
With trust in the front
And the past behind
We pushed forth continually
Not knowing what we'd find
Overcoming the ruts and bumps
Getting over all the hills
Our bodies gaining power
Hearts stronger than our wills
We walked along our tracks
Leaving our marks in the sand
We both reached the end
But neither went the way we planned
