The Sojourner


Will I get home tonight? Will I see those I've left behind? Will there be worries from tonight Whether or not I've left all behind? Can I meet the smiles that leaves me aglow? Can I meet the eyes and hearts that wished me well? Can I get the embrace left by hands out in flow Of welcome or of those n'er wishing me well? Will I have a rough journey back? Will life be fair as my understanding isn't much? Will my legs touch the soil that mark My origin from where I got lunch? Will the dust of the earth be my cover From whence man and all living are uncovered? Will it be fast or quick my cover? Will I be up living uncovered? Peace has seen me, pain has faced me My troubled heart hovering Now and then if death surely will befall me Will or will not my journey get a manoeuvring? I've seen sorrow, I've known worries From faces through troubled eyes I've heard cries, I've known the gasp of final breath in moments of merries Will life be fair with no lies That I arrive at my very laps? Not my very laps Such are that each embarking seems to be my very laps Such is my heart burdened with loads of taps Will life show me it's very laps? Here I wait in puzzlement Only life can unravel Has it partnered death in such bewilderment Or has life and death seen my travel? Looks like I've made it Look how Far I've come From whence I left Life has left me in doubt Now I'm what it never thought of My Driver was in control still Of what can I say but be thankful He got on my case with no worries Come in, I know your destination I Am not limited by Time nor Death I'm in charge of the road you take Here I am kept safe and sound From my worries and troubles I can't say what lies ahead or awaits But My Driver saw it All What more is it than to be an indelible passenger on board?
