Long Path Poem by Ronald Chapman

Long Path

I look to my destiny every day,
A future discovered on a cold June morning,
An eternity ago.

Searching for ways,
To move forward on the path fate has laid before me.

But every time I begin my journey,
Something blocks my way.

I'm afraid fate has cursed me with a longer path,
Then the days I have left to walk.

A vast ocean and years block my way home.

Please love, help me find a way to reach my long journey's end,

Where she is patiently waiting for me,
Holding her arms open wide,
Crying please come home to me, I love you; I love you.
