| MILESTONE To this 48th Milestone Along this singular road Filled with countless events I've managed to carry this load It always got heavier As I climbed up this hill With history that kept piling up Yet I never stood still How far have I traveled? I sometimes turn around and look See the stories in memory's lane Perhaps it's time to write a book I plod on and look ahead With my mind's questing eyes Over this visionless hillock How further the road lies How much further do I travel? When do I get some rest? Coz the road now holds no charm I've left behind the best But I feel there's more tarmac still Once I get over that top With age-bent shoulders I carry on My feet refuse to stop All I do is hope and pray On my journey to that crest Life still has something to offer Before I finally rest |
