Was musing on things that I feel have been missing in my life the past two years and scribbled some random thoughts down. Some of those formed different parts of this poem. This is the most difficult it has ever been for me to structure something I've written, but I'm pleased with the result.

Not written with a specific person in mind, more an amalgamation of memories and people. It's that idea of romance that inspired me.
I walk this path to the future
Not really knowing where it leads
Sometimes changing direction is easy
At others it's a difficult choice
My route may change by influence
From either friends or circumstances
At times I seem to stand still
Or even travel back along my path
No matter which direction I go
I travel to my unknown future
Happy to have this destination to reach
Smiling because I know I'm not alone

Dedicated to my sister as she battles a very curable form of cancer. Her positive outlook is always an inspiration to me.

It's a long time since we last met
Our time together now over and done
Still, driving through your hometown
Brings you to mind as I glimpse at the sun
They say things happen for a reason
I wouldn't change what we once shared
We may never meet again in our lives
But I hope you know that I truly cared
So now we travel on separate paths
No way of knowing where our destinies lie
Yet I find myself thinking of you
As I look up at the twilight sky

I was driving to pick up my youngest son and took the scenic route. Went through her hometown and thought about her. When I took the photograph I thought about her again, and here we are.
