Path

Held my hand

and led the way

from birth

 

Tripped over pebbles 

My first fall

You helped me back up

 

I walk alone

you follow behind closely

I quicken my steps

wanting to run away from you

 

I fell over stones

I stumble over myself

I made some friends

They lent me a helping hand

 

I learnt to read the signs

to choose my own path

Stop holding me back

cordoning off the area

 

When I know which path I want to go

and which final destination I am heading 

That will make me skip with joy 

When you are gone
