Throughout it All

Many times...
I've had to climb that treacherous mountain...
and cross that forbidding valley and river.
Many times...
I've had to overcome...
hardship and adversity, loss and disappointment.
And many times...
I've had to defy death itself.

Throughout it all, I would often think of you.
And that in itself, would give me the strength and courage...
to see it through.

A shining and guiding light, and more is what you've been for me.

I promised that I would return.
So my love, when you see me.
