I stood there at the cross roads
I knew not where to go
The way ahead was lonely
Oh that was long ago

A stranger did come passing by
Had walked a different road
Seemed to be forlorn as I
With her ahead I strode

“It’s kind of sad the way you stood”
She warily remarked
On the winding road of life
Together we embarked

We talked of things of here and there
Till dusk did befell
Our tent we pitched in wilderness
Our dreams to each did tell

Her tale of woe was similar
To that which I did bear
Sadness in her deep within
Sent often forth a tear

For many years life’s road we tread
Each company did we keep
Laugh and smile and shared our life
And sometimes did we weep

The road was long and winding
Her company too was kind
My sorrows drowned in sands of time
Of dreams I left behind
