We wait impatiently
For the moment
And when it comes
We will own it

When we can reach
Beyond the edge
To the dreams
On the other ledge

To feel the air
On our own
But beside the other
So we aren't alone

A preparation
Given enough time
But never just
To stand in line

To dance
The whole way there
To always know
But not quite care

We scavenge
These empty streets
But among
All the people we meet

We only find
Desperate friends
Who find a way
To seek an end

This journey begun
With hope in hand
To bring ourselves
To a promise land

A roof over our heads
A floor to sweep
Many gentle memories
To make and keep

Two eyes
And then four
Some time
And then more

Every step to start a
Another journeying
Every lesson
We are learning

I wouldn't want to
Do it alone
That's why I have you
My solid stone

A rock of guidance
And wisdom sweet
To show me where
To place my feet

Every word
From your mouth
Every picture
On a shelf

Hung and spoken
With so much care
If I look behind me
I see you there

Watching, with a smile
To see me grow
That look in your eyes
I already know

The memories
We shall weave
And my heart
You shall never leave

As fall rains
In gentle leaves
And it kisses
With a gentle breeze

We embark
On a new path
A home to make
A way to last
