As I Walk

As I walk - stones knick, cut, and gnash at my trodded feet creating scars from the miles I have walked for you A road where stones know not the smoothness of friendly steps My legs - bowed from carrying the weight, in the strong of my back you couldn't seem to bear Your strength gave out it was I who gave you mine Tho' they mocked you - To sleep I rocked you They jeered you - It was I who cheered you When you were discouraged - I encouraged you Yet, the soles of your feet remain unscathed for they are but a stranger to this road I've trod for you
