Journey
By Joan Estelle High
©5-7-2005

I was only just a young man in the early Spring time.
When the skies of heaven above wore a shade of blue.
Young love blossomed for me in the early Spring time.
Because the is when I know that I fell in love with you.

I was a little older when Summer came upon the land.
Flowers were now blooming, lovely colors did abound.
Days were long , summer breezes blew across the sand.
When you walked down that aisle in your wedding gown.

I was a man full grown when Fall breezes were in the air.
When those Autumn leaves had started falling to the ground.
Some days the sun forgot to shine, and all the trees were bare.
But we still were lovers when the cool nights came around.

Now I am growing older and there is some gray in my hair.
The days are growing colder and Jack Frost is on his way.
We have weathered many winters still together as a pair.
And yet our love still grows stronger each and every day.

No matter what the seasons bring, whether it's Spring or Fall,
We still do not really know just what our fate is going to be.
But should we ever try to figure out the meaning of it all,
I hope that you will still  be traveling along this road with me.

When our lives journey is all over and our story has been told.
When we have left this place to go sailing towards the light.
I will take your hand in mine as we cross the universe so old.
Holding tight to you as we travel together through the night.

Life is but a journey, Some times the road seems long.
There are hills and valleys and sometimes things go wrong.
But when you find true love, it is the icing on the cake.
And you will never be alone in the choices that you make.

So find yourself a true love and a rich man you will be.
Finding your self a soul mate is some how a mystery.
But if you choose wisely, the journey still may be long.
And there will be days when everything goes wrong.

You will know even if it rains, the sun will shine again.
If you have a mate who is both a lover and a friend
