Still I Am Walking

Lorna

You must be afraid to be brave, the old sage said walking

Then I am a brave warrior said the young man

For I am very much afraid of battle and yet I fight

 

You must be afraid to be brave the old sage repeated, walking on

Then I am very brave to be in love said the young wife

For I am very much afraid to trust and yet I married

 

You must be afraid to be brave, the old sage said still walking

Then I am very brave to be living said the little man

For I am very much afraid of life

 

And you old sage, are you brave asked the child, holding his hand

I am bravest of you all said old sage

For death is waiting at the corner

And still I am walking
