Journey With You
For
thầy T.H.C. and all my
friends, especially those battling life-threatening illnesses
July
2013
You say life is like a train trip
It is hard to say goodbye
At each station of your life
When someone has to get off
If that someone is a friend
You watch people come and go
You meet people as you dine
You sit across a stranger
Who becomes a friend
Holding a place in your heart
You want to hold on so dearly
Everything love has to give
You want to touch so closely
The people who are so near
The people who share your journey
It is strength that you are after
It is love that you’re yearning for
It’s a miracle that you dare hope for
To keep everything the same
To make everything better
I give you everything I could do
I wish you everything I care for
I’ll miss you if you ever leave
And my love does not stop then
And my love will never cease
My train trip will not be the same
If you are no longer on it
I will treasure every moment
When we laugh and cry together
For who knows what tomorrow will bring us
I pray that we are granted
With much time on earth to share
Time to give and time to heal
Time to live and time to spend
Time to feel the wonder of love life offers
For you are the person I met
In the good fortune of my life
Who became a dear friend of mine
Who gives me so much I feel blessed
You will forever be in my heart
