Am I Too Late
I’ve traveled far and long
Through miles of winding roads
Loneliness my companion
Though I’ve never been alone
Here within my heart you’ve been
Within my dreams and mind
Each step I’m getting closer
To the love I hope to find
Every road, it leads me closer
To where you stand in wait
I know it seems forever
But I pray I’m not too late
Babe, I’m growing weary
It’s a hard life I’ve been through
And every day that passes
Brings me one day nearer you
Each mile, each step, I travel
Makes me want you even more
Why was I just too blind to see
I needed you before
Every road it leads me closer
To where you stand in wait
I know it seems forever
But I pray I’m not too late
The moment that I’ve waited for
Has now arrived at last
Will you be there waiting for me
After all this time has passed
The dust has finally settled
And my eyes can clearly see
There ahead, up in the distance
You running straight towards me
Every road has lead me closer
And now you stand in wait
Babe, I know it’s been forever
But I’m glad I’m not too late
Yes, I’m glad It’s not too late
Author notes
Option # 2: An original country song
To me country music soothes my soul and lets me unwind from stressful days.
Martina McBride is my favorite country artist, but I also like Carrie Underwood and Blake Shelton to name a few.

Yes, this poem has a fine feelings of country lyrics. I feel like I would like to dance on its rhythm. Nicely done. You must promote it for more readers to see it.

I like this a lot. It definitely sounds like something that could be on the radio. The theme and wording sound like today's country music. Great job!
