I walked through the grass
I walked through the mire
I walked o'er tree and bough high
I walked to get to you.
I looked up at the clouds
Seeking direction as they dispersed
I let the wind whisper in my vein
As I walked to get to you.
For many I wander without aim
My gait meanders without goal
But there is solace in this journey of mine
For I know I walk to get to you.
I see many in my trudge
Some touch with me with tenderness
Caressing my aged skin they ask me fondly
Who it is that I walk to.
I smile and gently ease out
knowing my day is not done
I trust myself to the breeze
As it walks me to my destination.
Upon the ashes of a fallen soldier I
rest my wrinkled self I let the gray
shroud me I embrace the life that once was
I have finally walked to you.
