a young child travels
almost lost in the great wood
lonely and alone
draws on inner strength, grows up-
perhaps too soon, forfeits youth
exits the trail head
a different person than
the one who entered

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.
I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.
Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.

You know, as close as I live to the trail, I've never hiked it. A regret!
