Ponder

To think of what might soon appear 
To think of things that just might be 
To plan each step that you will take
So your path is not hard to see 

You take your time because you know
To think of what might soon appear 
Around the traps you then will go
A life you'll have that knows no fear

You understand how to adhere
To standards that are set in life
To think of what might soon appear 
Will help others to avoid strife 

Though others think you move to slow 
You understand when you come near 
Of the place that will be your goal 
To think of what might soon appear
