I'm Only Halfway There

Reaching a destination is not complete until the return journey is done.

The journey begins a step at a time

I'm on my way new adventures to find

Walking rough pathways and crooked trails

I won't give up I will prevail

Sweating and weary, but cannot stop

I must make it to the mountain top

Huffing and puffing as I go

To look down on the earth below

I made it and the view is grand

I've journyed to the promised land

But as I allow that thought sinks in

I realize I must go down again

I smile and breathe in the cool fresh air

I've not arrived, I'm only halfway there

So back down the mountain I'm filled with glome

I've not completed the journey until I'm back home

For Fun
