And so I will walk.
I will walk down this long, narrow path.
Plank after plank passing under my feet.
And so I will walk.
I will continue walking towards the light.
I know what I want most is at the end.
And so I will walk.
I will make it to the end. I swear it.
There is no turning back .
And so I will walk.
I can see my happy ending coming near.
I will take what's mine and smile.
And so I'm here.
I've made it to my prize I longed for.
I see you open up those arms and I am home.
And so I will stay.

This is great. I love how the lines go from
And so I will walk
to
And so I will stay
That was amazingly done.
