Traveling Partners

It is a strange thing meeting you here
Though we have known each other for a long span
We have not stood in the others presence
There was a long journey
That we both set out on together
As the sun beat down hard on the many companions that were with us
The stress of the journey became too much for some
Across the way we saw an oasis
A place to rest
Some said it is a mirage
Most believe it was real and set out to find it
Since we were unable to make our own way we chose to stay with those whom we held close
Unfortunately that was not each other
As our journeys continued on
We both faced disappointment and happiness
The day came for us
Like it does for all young ones in the group
That we set out on our own journey
As that journey began and now is in progress
We find ourselves here
Our lives have come together once again
Maybe we can rest here for a spell
Or perhaps we will take the same roads for a time
For the experiences we have all had are all different
But it has led us all to the same place
If we separate will we survive without the others?
Perhaps since we find agreement here it is better to travel together
Rather than separate as the previous generation did in days past
Come now let us travel and rest as seen fir for us
For traveling partners are what makes the journey easier and much more bearable.
