Your journey

·Ilse

There are many types of people on this earth There are many souls occupying this universe We cannot comprehend everything I believe with all that…I am most fortunate As I have managed to place myself near you It’s not just the good times we have shared, where laughter pulled my stomach tight, and I ached from joy It is not just the tears that I have cried, when I felt my whole being fall apart It is not the times I saw your pain, and my heart cried for you It is all of that and more When others would walk away, you stayed When I spoke my truth and not only did it hurt me, but you as well You stayed When I became too wrapped up in life You not only stayed, but gave me a nudge Instead of stopping on my pebbled path to surrender to my injuries You held your hand out and offered love, which we’ve learnt comes in many ways As you climb upon this mountain, faced with the shadow that covers you I see you tightening your ropes, reaching yet another summit, one of the biggest Where not only the sun shines for you But reflects you onto eternity and all I see you, I believe in you Go forth with love
