On A Path One Makes And Takes To Pioneer Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

A willingness to grow,
Is being able to let go.
And go through those feelings,
Of homesickness...
Alone.
As if to graduate,
With the leaving of classmates...
Behind.
To journey on a mission,
That clarifies one's ambition.

And many unable to condone this feeling,
Will never come to appreciate the making...
Of one's footsteps,
Placed...
In fresh falling snow.
With a doing of it done.
And no one else there knows,
Or witnesses this event...
On a path one makes,
And takes to pioneer with faith as one's only guide.
