The Path Poem by Peter Madden

I wander down the path....
my life the uncharted way before me...
each step i take anew...
is upon virgin terratory...



yet i walk alone...



it is a new dawn i awake to each day...
bringing a hope yet to be fullfilled....
what i search for i do not know...
but always onward i seek and yearn....



yet still i walk alone...



others sometimes walk with me...
sharing there hopes and their fears....
opening my eyes and my mind...
to things i would never have seen...
showing me just what i could truley be..
supporting me through the years..



yet even then i walk alone...



the land changes under my feet...
time passes and seasons change...
life begins for some....
their first steps unsure and usteady...
they walk before me on my path...
making it their own..
but for others it brings a welcome end...
a rest from a long journey...



yet once more i walk alone...



i have walked this world all my life...
i have lived and loved and dreamed...
i've learned to see through other eyes...
and shared all that i have seen...



yet i deserve to walk alone...



so now at last at the journeys end...
i look back and i realise...
no matter what i have done...
that i have always known...
you were always with me...



and i never walked alone.
