Just a bit farther

Walking down an old, worn path

I wonder when I may arrive

Continuing with stern belief 

‘The path will end in just a bit’


There are those also walking this path

They ask me questions

What am I doing?

Where am I going?

I respond with only 

‘To the end of this old and worn path’


We all have our own trail

Though others may be crossing through

Some walk

Some run

There are those who stop often to chat


Walking and walking with no end

Maybe if I run I will get there quick

Running fast down this path

I believe I see the end

It is bright and warm


I start to slow

Wishing I had stopped 

To talk to those on the path as well

Another one walking asked a question

‘How was your walk’

It was nice 

If only this path would go a bit longer

But I only have just a bit further.

While there are those who run through life without thinking to stop, some take break and try to make the most of the time, till the get to the end of their path. Don't take everything for granted, you won't be here forever. Take time to calm down and have fun, you should always try to make life as fun as possible; so that when you see the end of your path you can think 'I had fun atleast'.
