Getting there

Getting there

By May Kwek

I am getting there but by another way

Away from the track that others take

And though it is a lonely way

There’s no other that I would take

For the old track confines

You must run all the way

And even if you are tired

No word can you say

Whereas the new track is freedom

From these confinements

But I will stumble

And have to learn some lessons

But I will get there

I will finish all the same

Although it was by another road

That I laboriously came

At least on this road I will learn

Although it may have many turns

But I will take it anyway

And prove it right on finishing day

So I am getting there, I am getting there

But doing it my own way

Away from the well walked track

But having happier days
