Walk slowly, dear
Walk with fear
Walk with grace
Walk a steady pace…
Look to heaven, and nothing is there
Look to hell where your friends bear
Life has no hope anymore
Since he walked in heaven’s door….
He left you poor
No love…
No hope…
No dreams…
No faith…
To help your pain
You fall on the street of main
A man walks by; ignoring you
You decide to give up, you’re finally through…
A sweet boy holds out his hand
And helps you stand
He smiles then walks away
And because of him you make it through the day

I wrote this while I was upset, so it has a lot of emotion...and a hidden meaning...that only if you knew me would you understand...
