Cautious Walker
Steps leading
down
to a steep ravine
one path to
take
The cautious walker
moves slowly
measuring every step
Let's not laugh too
hard at him
He may look frazzled
but he has guts
If he is careful
He will reach the stream
This stream
flows through the canyon
leaving small creatures in
its wake
The light from above
shines down on
the ravine
Careful, man careful
The dangers are real
The time is very short
You'll reach your goal
and see life from the
other side
If you move carefully
and do not falter
with your steps
