My Final Walk

I have walked through water
I have walked through fire
I have known of lack
I have known of desire

I have learned to sing
I have learned to dance,
And when faced with fear
I have learned to prance

So much drama
It could make a box office hit;
So much trauma
It could make the strongest man quit

But I've walked my own path
And in this there is honor,
But the badges I wear
Have grown rusty while on here

What a journey I've had
No one can deny,
But now my dear friends
It is time for goodbye.
