Keep Walking I was told Warned by travel agent When leaving airport At a tourist location That many would approach me But she did not get me ready for this As I walked through a door Here comes a crowd of people With big smiles and pamphlets Dressed as if working for airlines Very deceiving to the eye my friend With some even dressed as officers Left me wondering are they real workers Why all these little tables they have To try and pick me up to carry me to How could everyone be my car shuttle It's me they say we got your name While pointing to their name tags Left me pondering is this another check point Can I just walk past them So I remember just keep Walking I can see the outside doors The light shining through Letting me know this is the right direction to flee Finally, getting out of the chaos At the end of the drive Was a guy with the biggest smile Saying you made it Now let's go to your place of rest Real story but the meaning I got out of this Was a reminder to Keep Walking Many deceivers to try and pull One off the right path But there is a true Shepherd Leading to the End For when one knows His voice They shall follow for there is only one

Only God can show the way. If we depend on men for direction, they will mislead us and we are likely to falter and flounder. Jesus is our great Shepherd and we the lambs identify the His voice. Beautiful poem dear Stephhan.

Hi Stephen, very intriguing poem. Reminds me of when I was in Mumbai at the airport once in 1993, kind of scary with beggars and militia with guns, my sister and I with a language barrier, trying to get our plane to Chennai. I think you meant so say Shepherd perhaps? My spelling is the worse.

Stephen, this is an unusual poem. I was lost in the beginning, but glad I kept reading! Your poem has both message and meaning beyond ego tripping! Panagiota

All glory to God, just trying to tell of a time leaving airport, they exhausted me and family in trying to deceive, was glad the travel agent had given some warning because they looked like real airport workers but we're not : )

Excellent, Stephan! A great reminder. No time to chat even when the deceiver smiles. A Cheshire cat grin. Grin and bear the temptation…way of evil…keep on the straight and narrow path!
