Belonged


The road was hard, the journey long.
Nasty thorns were in way, bringing with them great sorrow and dismay.
The cliff was steep, and the river wide.
There were times when we wanted to hide.
The sun beat down upon our backs.
While chilly nights reminded us of all we lacked.
Our shoes grew worn, and our courage waned.
If only we held on, there would be so much to gain.
A brighter sky, and calmer waves.
A restful place for the weary brave.
We lifted our chins, and marched on and on.
Through twilit night, and far beyond the dawn.
Our hearts were so heavily burdened by many long years.
Clogged by moments of frightened tears.
The way, it was rough.
But we learned so much stuff.
Though many said we were wrong, that the journey was too long.
We held on.
We stayed strong.
And finally found the place where we belonged.
