Our Journey

My Dad held my hand on the train, 

And called out my name,

And as We waited for our destination 

We held a conversation:

He said, “Always work hard”

And “Follow your Heart”

“Be confident” and “Be strong”

And most importantly “Always get along”

“Life is short” he remarked 

And told me it had come his turn to depart

Goodbye he said 

“Always look ahead” and “have no regret”

With those final words he departed and left

Whilst my journey continued on to progress
