A WALK TO NOWHERE
When I was young,
My father would take me walking.
"Where are we going?" I would ask.
"There and back!" came his reply.
"What for?"
"Just enjoy it..."
And so, we walked to nowhere, turned around, and came home.
Pointless! I thought.
Now, years later, I cannot wait to walk to nowhere.
Why?
Because on the way to nowhere,
Is somewhere.

My Father also took this trip with me at his heels - now I'd give anything to be able to walk half as far and back again without being crippled.

Oh, Ricky. How beautiful. I absolutely love the pic!! In the words of one of my favorite bands, "Life's a journey, not a destination".... So, for me, it's not about the Somewhere, it's about the way there.... But I think that was what your father meant.

Sorry, I missed this one, Ricky!! What a lovely and delightful poem! Looking back on those days, the walk to nowhere with your father is special. Those are the days you will cherish as the years fly by. Happy memory making.....Jerry
