The Long Walk
It has been a long walk, a very rough road, each step feeling like a mile
It is time for some rest and peace of the heart
He stands before the gate and gazes beyond seeing beauty without compare
He looks behind him at where he has been
He wants to step into this beauty, but his heart still keeps him here
Although the road was long and tiresome it is the home he has known
Family and friends gather on both sides of the gate offering comfort and love to the weary traveler
Gently, the Fathers arms wrap around his son and guide him through the gate
Now he is truly home
For my Dad, Glenn O'Rourke May 3, 2010
