The Journey
When she reached her final destination,
She stopped to catch her breath,
And she then turned to look back on the path she had traveled.
There were hills sprinted up,
Soaring mountains slowly climbed,
Deep ravines and wide rivers crossed.
It was definitely not the easiest of journeys.
As she looked out,
She gasped in astonishment,
There were innumerable paths that had crossed her own.
Until now, she was unaware of so many travelers she had touched.
From her vantage point,
It was the most beautiful and intricate web she had ever seen.
Some paths only briefly intersected hers,
And several others traced along for many miles.
Tears slowly rolled down her cheeks.
However, she was not mournful.
This women was full of joy,
For she knew she had traveled well.
Her journey was full of adventure,
With surprises around numerous bends.
Of course there were pains,
Yet she always endured.
Her greatest joy and biggest smile
Comes from the memories of all those who traveled with her.
Some only for a moment,
Other for a few miles,
And the precious few for a lifetime.
All were impacted, cherished, and loved.
There was never any doubt of that.
Her journey may have reached its end,
However, all the paths that touched hers continue on.
Her fellow travelers carry on their own journeys
And they will always remember this amazing woman.
