Don'T Walk On Me

Hey! Hey, you; yeah, I'm talk- ing to you there. Don't Walk On Me! Don't be rude, and walk upon my person, sprawled here, in the grass; give me space to be myself; please walk around me as you pass. If, someday, you should find that I am lying prone and feeling ill, be kind enough to bring a rose and sit quietly, with me, till I'm up on my feet, then help me clear the way to find an easy path thru frenzied fray. Don't step on me as you pass by, but take me by the hand. We'll walk side by side in sun and as a team-together we both can stand. Comprende?
