Look over your shoulder
At the rugged terrain
Lessons, memories and stories
Are all that remain
There is no going back now
Nothing to change
So carry the knowing
It was never in vain
Let your heartbeat slow down
And soften your breath
At the top of this mountain
Let yourself rest
As you watch the sun set
On a journey so hard
Take note of the strength
That carried you this far
Find hope in the knowing
A path lies ahead
That isn’t as rugged
But lit up, instead
And there in your pocket
Is the wisdom you found
On a long, tiring journey
That knocked you around
And alongside that wisdom
Is a note from your friend -
“You’ve got this, I love you,
I’m with you, till the end.”
