The End of the Tunnel

I chase the glimmer of hope

at the end of the tunnel

Through its harsh winters

and hot summers

I chase a chance for true happiness

or at least a break

from this agony

I am in

I chase the rainbow at the end of the storm

the large marlin deep in the ocean

the leprechaun’s gold

the holy grail

I chased it till the end of the tunnel

and what I found

stayed with me

till the day I died with a smile on my face
