The Obstacle Is the Path

forward watch your step the shadows will hide deep cracks if you should fall get back up the path will guide so never give up my friend at times you may walk you may even run crawling will never be shunned if the path becomes hidden you may stray just look up and find your guide there are many obstacles and many paths stay the course and do the math January 23rd, 2021 Suzette Prime Poetry Contest Sponsor: Emile Pinet
