Up Hill And Down Dale by Sofia Kioroglou

UP HILL AND DOWN DALE

I have come all this way
searched up hill and down dale
for a nook in your neck of the woods
Please don’t turn your back on me

I have travelled from so far away
come up against so many obstacles
but managed to overcome them
Please do not slam the door on my face

I have come to see life not as a box of chocolates
and I have graduated from the school of hard knocks
only to become more human than ever
and appreciate our going hence even as our coming hither
