Will you come with me?

I have to go, now.
Will you come with me?

It is going to be a harsh climb,
Uphill most of the way,
Though I cannot carry you,
I'll hold you night and day.

Chilled winds, and sweltering heat,
Starving nights of half baked bread,
Though I cannot buy you more,
I'll pledge you my half instead.

No clothes of fashion, nor toys of play,
A roof porous to the rain,
Though I cannot keep you dry,
I'll share your every pain.

I can and will build my world,
Brick by brick, every column and beam,
Though I cannot wish it now,
I'll colour your every dream.

If you want to stay still,
Then I will let it be,
Though I cannot have you by my side,
I'll always seek you for me.

I have to go, now.
Will you come with me?
