The Journey

As I was one day walking
Along a winding road,
My path crossed with another,
Which stayed parallel to mine,
As far ahead as the eye can see.
And the person traveling upon it
Was soon walking beside me.
We walked and talked,
Sharing each other's joy,
And comforting one another
When times were bad.
Who is this person,
Who shares my journey with me?
It is you,
My friend.
