Day 30 Poem in my Pocket
My poem for today is actually the lyrics to a song I fell in love with years ago. It’s called The Journey by Julie Gold. Sung by Lea Salonga
The Journey
Half the world is sleeping
Half the world's awake
Half can hear their hearts beat
Half just hear them break
I am but a traveler, been most everywhere
Ask me what you want to know
What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
And they're bound to guide my way
When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in
What a journey it has been
I have been to sorrow
I have been to bliss
Where I'll be tomorrow
I can only guess
Through the darkest desert
Through the deepest snow
Forward, always forward, I go
What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
And they're bound to guide my way
When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in
What a journey it has been
Forward, always forward
Onward, always up
Catching every drop of hope
In my empty cup
What a journey it has been
And the end is not in sight
But the stars are out tonight
And they're bound to guide my way
When they're shining on my life
I can see a better day
I won't let the darkness in
What a journey it has been
What a journey it has been

Years ago, my husband, Peter, and I learned this song. He had to figure out the guitar chords and I had to write down the lyrics as it hadn’t come out in sheet music yet. I sang and he played for me. I miss that.
