In a world so vast and wide,
I met a soul, my guide,
Who took my hand, side by side,
Showed me life on the other side.
Through lands of sun and snow,
Beyond where I'd ever go,
They taught me to let go,
In travel's flow, I began to grow.
We wandered through streets unknown,
At every step, a new tone,
Under skies that shone,
Life's true colours were shown.
They pushed me past my fears,
Through laughter and through tears,
Years in moments, moments in years,
In their gaze, the world appears.
But paths diverge in life's maze,
What was once a joint blaze,
Turns to memory's haze,
As we reach our separate ways.
A goodbye under foreign skies,
With grateful tears in our eyes,
For the journey that ties,
In our hearts, where it never dies.
Though we part, I understand,
Life's journey is but grains of sand,
They showed me the world, so grand,
Now I walk alone, yet stand.
In their absence, a new start,
With a world map in my heart,
For they played the most vital part,
In the story of my art.
