            Sorry I'm late
        it took me forever to get here
            Forever to realize
            you are the one
            To get to this
            place in my life
            Where I can say
            I love you
            All the roads I've
            traveled down
            All the lives I've lived
            have led to you
            I've learned lifes lessons
            sometimes the hard way
            I've loved, I've lost
            but now I am here
            You have been my
            destination
            Now you are my
            journeys end.

Paula,

I loved what you had to say in this...

"You have been my destination
Now you are my journeys end."

What great lines. So very romantic

Life may not be easy but the hardknocks are worthwhile when journey's end is sweet.

I enjoy your words, Paula  ...chanson~
