Icy Road
Icy Road
Oh, glassy look beneath my foot
Easy, I groped like a child just starting to walk
One limb forward, went off the hollow
One foot behind wobbly to follow
Both arms flailing helplessly at sides
Slowly, carefully I took another stride
Sweaty hands, heart beating to fight
The scare that crept up my might
Some cars went off the road
Skidded and dumped their load
Into a pavement or down a hill
That gave onlookers the chills
I made a brave try to proceed
Attempting to crawl through the slippery way
Boldly, I looked down the icy road
Overcame with fear so I must pray
