That brought me here
That gave me you
It was the journey of a heart
That fell for you
That held your love
It was the journey of a lifetime

It was the journey of a tear
That bled down my cheek
Staining me with unforgiving pain

It was a journey of the soul
Traveling over potholes
Crossing state lines
One too many whines
But we really did it, yay!
We did a third of it today
But it’s really bittersweet
And my crocs now smell like sweaty feet
But I’m a Texan now
I’ve always been, somehow

It was a journey of the soul
A needle in constant motion
Threading in and out
In and out
Splitting fabric and tearing colours between the seams
All with the purpose of stringing tapestry’s of past and present.
With pinpricked fingers
Bloody and raw from years of use
I can gladly say that my soul has been well travelled
And my hands well trained....
