Favorite Quote:
And one day, the girl with the books became the woman writing them.


This path I tread shall ever be

A weary task in front of me.

My heart may fall but I go on,

‘Till tales of merry youth are gone.

 

This road I walk shall ever wind.

And though I fall so far behind,

I must continue on this trail

Although my feet still yet may fail.

 

This song I sing shall lose its rhyme,

It’s melody, rhythm, and time.

But still I’ll sing day after day,

And all that’s left will fade away.

 

This poem I write shall meet it’s end,

Its meaning lost and purpose bent,

But still the verse sounds in my heart

From weary stop to weary start.


The author's comments:

This poem is kind of a metaphor for life, and how it can get hard sometimes but we just need to keep going. My Grandpa just passed away, so that’s why I wrote this poem.
