Knowing Which Way To Go!


We watched you

happily

stumble through

your first

few steps

knowing

you'd improve

with each

new one.


You watch us

worriedly

stumble through

our steps

unmindful

of our age

but thankful

they're still firm

Every last one.


It's not

whether

we walk

fast or slow

stumble or fall 

but to walk

the numbered steps

each is given

to traverse through life!


We’re walking

ours

you'll walk 

yours

That we share

some steps

together

is our

happy refrain!


Dearest one

we pray

whatever steps

you take

fast or slow

stumble or fall

let it always be

knowing

which way to go!
