i've been looking high and low for her,
yet never seem to find,
the me i lost so long ago,
the me inside my mind...

i searched thru loves and losses,,
i traveled near and far,
i crept up on a dream or two,
and many a life did mar...

for a while i think i stopped looking,
i was so tired and needed to rest.
from searching for the me that was no more,,
from my never ending quest.

she had run so far ahead of me,,
yet never stopped to see,
that tho i was slow in coming,
i would never give up on me...

her confidence over came her,,
she paused and sat down to wait,
and see how long it would take me
to meet up with her,, at the gate..

my pace it was slow and methodic,
for the journey had been long and hard..
t'was then that i saw her waiting
for me,, in my very own back yard......
