If somewhere down this road of life <br />Our paths should cross again <br />I'll know you've come to spread your brand <br />Of sadness, fear and pain. <br /> <br />Some years ago, with treachery <br />You stole my mate away. <br />The hurt still lingers in my heart. <br />Until this very day. <br /> <br />Then, later on you came for me, <br />With your same dark, dreaded kiss; <br />And since I've struggled, prayed and sought <br />The road to inward bliss. <br /> <br />What lies ahead, God only knows <br />What is waiting there for me; <br />I'm bent, I 'm worn, my eyes are dim, <br />But, my spirit's cancer free. <br /> December-2000<br /><br />Joseph Anderson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/somewhere-down-the-road-3/
