At the path's end, the final span
that crosses o'er darkness to light.
A bridge of hope, not made by man,
to my eyes it's a wondrous sight.
As I approach, I hesitate
at the path's end, the final span
that bids me forward, yet I wait.
My heart has a different plan.
I choose to remain, rather than
proceed ever onward apart
at the path's end, the final span,
for patience is borne of the heart.
Time has no meaning, as I stand.
I know you'll be here when you can.
We'll walk together, hand in hand,
at the path's end, the final span.
