My Companion

I walk around the alluring lands On foot I cross the earthly folds I climb the trees with my bare hands To see how my journey unfolds During my distant travels I had one sturdy companion Even when the world unravels He would follow me through the canyons He'd come in the dark, go in the light He'd grow and shrink from my life Even in the darkness, he was always bright Always peaceful, lacking any strife In him I saw my own reflection My trust in him I could foresee I'd always wonder of his eternal affection Why was he always there for me?
