PRECHI POEMS/POETRY: AT LONG LAST

I embarked on a journey
For me, it was an ultimate search
I was discouraged by many
I fell often
I was drenched by rain
My feet became sore
The heat from the sun drained my blood
I became pale
But I never gave up

Here we are
I got to my destination
It was war
I met men of valour
I was not armed they thought
I was looking pale they thought
I knew what I wanted
I asked them to let me see the king
The wont let me in
I was pushed
I was slapped
I was even spat on in the face
I never fainted
They threw me out

After a fourth night of intense care
I was groomed
I was refurbished
I became good to behold
I came to the king
they let me in
they gave me escort
they took me to the treasure

There we are
Here and there
Up and down
Eureka!
I found it
The priceless jewel
I found a rare gem
I found the gift of the three wisemen
I found saphire
I found emerald
I found gold.
I found you
I found you
I found my lost rib
At long last
