Life's Path

It’s an open ended kind of life;
I know not where I go.
I hold you close inside my heart; 
I know you’re in the show.

I see behind me clear as day, 
but forward dark as night.
I know I love you come what may, 
but there is no foresight.

There is no map or plan ahead 
I’m strictly walking blind.
I have no future thoughts off hand; 
I hope you do not mind.

Sometimes I feel as if I’ll fall 
if I don’t turn to light.
But always know that you are there 
to catch me in mid flight.

So yes sometimes I am afraid 
I have no future plans.
But one thing is clear for all my life 
I’ve had your helping hands.
