I Miss the Road We Traveled

Growing up, my brother and I shared a passion.

It was not handed down to us,

yet we both had a keen insight,

so a part of each of us

led us down the same path.

 

Little did we know where it would take us,

and little did we know how far the journey'd last.

All that we knew was that we were ready,

and that we were both willing to travel...

..and so we began our journey.

 

Together we traveled for a time,

learning the terrain and the knowledge to survive.

We had maps and directions,

and a basic knowledge of our coordinants,

but, also we had equipment, and worked as a team together.

 

Our journey is now, a separate one.

We've joined other teams,

and have traveled in different directions.

I miss the excitement when the quest was new,

I miss our combined efforts, but most of all...I miss the road we traveled.

Doc this is a lovely. Brothers are special! This expresses it extremely well. :-) Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
