hello old friend
i know i saw you yesterday
and will again tomorrow
and the day after, too
i just wanted to pause for a moment
there are some things i need to say to you
but, youre not one for conversation
please, just humor me this once
for every single destination
i see you beneath my feet
one step after another
a fresh path into you i beat
but, you dont complain through all this walking
never ask me why i do it
you just watch me moving forward
silently guiding me through it
i know you never doubt me
you know where i am going
you also never judge me
for you know where i have been
silent and dependable
through all the twists and turns
whether rain is beating down on you
or youre feeling the suns burn
thank you, road, for being there
a companion now and ever
taking me where i need to go
and if i dont like where you lead
i can turn around and follow you home
uphill and down
twists and straight stretches
no matter if its dark or light
midday, or midnight
as the things around me
constantly change
where you lead remains the same
be you straight and narrow
paved or gravel
through the city or by the sea
you are there through all my travels
i see it more as thanking the road for being the only constant in life...always there, steadfast, and willing to let you turn around and go back as well.
as for the way i presented it, i have to laugh. its just the way i wrote it on the piece of paper i used at work one night, no editing or thought to "presentation" at all.
thanks again
