We Walk For Miles Poem by BRUCE MARTONE

WE WALK MILES AFTER MILES
CLIMBING UP HILLS AFTER HILLS
IN THE HEAT AND THAT MY FRIEND
BROUGHT US NO THRILLS
BUT WE KEPT ON GOING TIME AFTER TIME AGAIN
EACH ONE LOOKING AT THE OTHER ONE
WONDERING HOW FAR WE HAVE TO GO
EVEN THOUGH IT FEELS LIKE WE JUST BEGUN
HERE HONEY TAKE A SIP AND WHERE REST HERE
FOR THE NIGHT WILL PICK IT UP IN THE MORNING LIGHT
AND IN A DAY OR TWO I PROMISE YOU WILL BE THERE
WHERE THE GRASS IS GREEN AND TREES DO GROW
AND LOVERS STILL KISS IN THE POET POEM
THAT MUCH I KNOW
AND I HEAR DREAMS COME TRUE
AS LONG AS WE HAVE HOPE AND AS LONG WE BELIEVE
AND HERE A RED ROSE FOR YOU
AND A KISS TO SEAL MY LOVE SO YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE
WHEN I GET MY HANDS DIRTY BUILDING FOR OUR HOME,
BUILDING FOR OUR LIFE, BUILDING FOR OUR FUTURE,
BUILDING FOR OUR CHILDREN WHEN THE TIME IS RIGHT
BUT FOR NOW I SAY GOODNIGHT
SEE YOU IN THE MORNING LIGHT
