Who walks their path better than I?
The child upon a first step
The woman wheelchair-bound
The old man breathing his last
Do the humble walk with head bowed?
They see nothing but the path
Missing all around them
Focused on what lies before
Do the blind not see the trek?
The cane swings left and right
Night merges with day
Safer to just be still
Who walks their path better than I?
Everyone who walks a path
For it is their path
Only they can walk it
Do the humble walk with head bowed?
Smiling at all around them
Where they have been and are now
The reality before them
Do the blind not see the trek?
The closed eye does not stop perception
Sleeping does not stop the dream
Incarceration does not stop flight
To find a path is the goal of life
The first step, the beginning of a journey
More important than the destination
Actions more important than ego
Not taking the first step
Admits paraplegia
Not traveling a path
Admits being crippled
On a path, the child can teach the master
The paralyzed, the runner
The sinner, the righteous
The dying, the living
One's path is in the mind's eye
The destination is ahead
You will arrive tomorrow
Or, you are already there
Envision a first step and the journey has begun!
