Journey With You

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
