HER ROAD
She is traveling
But not alone
With children in tow
Far far from home
Her burden she carries
Like a stone
Sometimes she feels
She can’t go on
Tired and sad
She doesn’t mind much
For she knows
Soon they’ll touch
He’s coming to meet
Me in the middle
When we’re together
We’ll solve this riddle
The road is long
And filled with turns
That cannot extinguish
How her love burns
Up there ahead
She sees him running
Her load feels lighter
She knows he’s coming
HIS ROAD
He is her husband
She is all he dreams
His heart feels heavy
Or so it seems
He must have faith
That she’ll survive
It is that thought
That keeps him alive
Never too much
For him to bear
He hopes she knows
Their life they’ll share
The heavy heart
The distant look
He’ll never get back
The time they took
But still he walks
With steady pace
He cannot NOT
Finish this race
Over the horizon
He knows she’s coming
He sheds his pain
And starts running
-Peace
