We’ve walked the pilgrimage path
With our seeing only a short time
Thoughts seared deep into our minds
Wonderment at Holy sites we beheld
Vivid imagery remains even on this day
To linger until death presence arrives
Not all wonders are relics of time
Laughs shared with newfound friends
A gentle spirit comforts a troubled soul
Shoulder given for a sick friend to rest
These are the peaks we strive to ascend
The mountaintops blessed us to arrive
Our hearts soared with each other’s climb
Knowing the Valleys await our return
Time is not merciful to our reminiscence
The new joys return to the old pains
When Memories turn to blurry dreams
Dreams that with silent time have faded
The Determination to serve weakens
Footsteps veer from righteousness path
Did we feed bread to the hungry?
Clothed those who were cold
Tell about the grace of the LORD
The mountain top has become far-away
Distance settles between GOD and us
A month of days have turned to six
A year having now been completed
Tell me what have we become since
We’ve walked the pilgrimage path
