The Quest

This fight called life, we wade though strife
Cutting brambles without a knife
Hacking, breaking with our hands
Bending, straining, crossed the land
We pass those who's given up
Bones found fetal, all curled up
We travel though the battle grounds
Where valiant ones now lie in mounds
Where is the hope, we seek to find?
When loss and fear attack our mind?
The climb go's up and out of smog
Must press upward through blacked fog
It will break to amazing sights
Vibrant lands bathed in light
One's like you, have stopped to rest
Travel worn from the very Quest
The path still moves on up and out
But the air is clear, with no doubt!
And your journey is now joined by those
Who share minds for the life you chose
To help you climb the roads above
Arm in arm in bands of love!
Where were they when needed most?
When things were dark and demon's close?
The answer is simple, and its that they...
Were right beside you the whole way!
You couldn't see below the muck
Vision blurred to lonely luck
Yet they fought by you though thick and thin
And fell besides you at the dark clouds rim
And continue on where ever you go
letting you know, you are NEVER alone.
