Her Journey Poem by Tim Romines

Her Journey

Your journey through this world has only just begun
But you have traveled many hard miles without ever leaving.
The roads you have chosen have not always been easily traveled
Yet you move forward and push through the hard times

Even if your journey is hard and rough
You manage to rise up with that determined smile
That confident but slightly confused look in your eyes
And the slight wrinkle of your nose when you know you’re ok.

The time you have traveled is not relevant
The time you spend reflecting on where you’ve been is.
You know that it is not so much where you go,
But how you get there.

You are easily liked and admired
But respect and devotion are the traits you are searching for
Down one of these roads you will find what you seek
Don’t be afraid to travel many roads on your journey.

You are not yet able to see what others see in you
So watch others expressions and you will see
The good that you project onto others
And be able to appreciate what your inner qualities are.

Stay focused on your journey
Travel off the regular path from time to time
Don’t be afraid to demand in return
What you are willing to give yourself.
