Last night we had a "send-off" gathering in our apartment with good food and even better company. Amidst the show-and-tell of my equipment and a blessing on my trip, this poem was written by the friends in attendance, each line written by a different hand. I thought I'd share it:
Hiking, hiking on the Appalachian Trail.
Some days are hot, some days are not
On the Appalachian Trail.
Your muscles will be sore one day,
And sorer still the next.
But you never have to answer
When your friend sends you a text.
They should've known you are hiking;
That should've been assumed.
They should've known you are hiking:
You are using your shovel to make a boom;
You are using a Dr. Pepper can to cook;
And wearing one Fruit-of-the-Loom.
Putting one foot in front of another can become a bore,
But continuing to do so is NOT something you should ignore!
Press on friend!
Knowing we wish you the best.
