Just Walk Beside Me
“Don’t walk too far ahead, I may not follow…” Your steps are so much swifter than my own, if I lose sight of you within the distance, I doubt I can continue on alone. “Don’t walk too far behind, I may not lead…” I lack the strength of soul that you possess, and if you lost your way because of me, the both of us would face a wilderness. “But walk beside me…” so that I may know the sweet companionship your presence brings, so may we, hand-in-hand and heart-to-heart, help each other on to higher things.
Grace E. Easley
