Looking On

Paul Gerard Reed

You are looking over my shoulder

At everything I see

For, even as I get older,

I'm not as wise as I should be;

 

Your hand is on my shoulder

Pointing the way ahead,

Urging me to be bolder

Or to tread safely instead;

 

My blood once ran through your veins

When you were put to the test,

Now, even as the light wanes,

You still want me to be best;

 

So together we will travel

Until all the days are gone,

Tomorrow and the future unravel

With you still looking on.
