Finally,
The end of a journey
That was always begun
But never rewarded
With the first footfall,
But feeding itself
It stayed alive
For long enough
For me to know
It still lived,
And so wait,
And work and work,
And anticipate,
That one day,
Sometime soon,
I'd know joy
When the journey
Was still not ended
But was strong enough
To let me know
The last footfall
Had been struck,
On a stone somewhere,
And that I would know
That my dreams were come
True, true, true!
