The Path
Written by Torrie DeMore
My father and mother started down a path
beginning the moment they met.
For seventeen years they've continued
their journey down that path.
They've hit many bumps in the road
and crossed many bridges.
Danger and troubles have plagued the path,
but they continued on together,
bound by an eternal vow and a ring.
Today they came to a sign on the path
with two arrows
pointing in opposite directions.
Today they came to a fork in the path
and gave up.
Tomorrow they won't continue together because
today they started down their own paths.
