The Road

02/11/2020 – Poem a Day Compilation



We walk this road together,

You and I,

But we see it very differently.

It’s all rainbows and butterflies

When you walk along it

While I see nothing of the sort.

All I see ahead of me

Are potholes and speed bumps

That I have to navigate around.

You see the flowers that grow

By the side of the road

When I see only weeds.

I want to see the world

Through your rose-tinted eyes

But it is faded and frayed.

I walk the road with you

Because I know I’ll see someday

The rainbows

The butterflies

The flowers

Not through your eyes

But through my own.
