Mark Koplin Poet Suzette Prime

The Obstacle Is the Path

forward
                                          watch your step
                             the shadows will hide deep cracks
                                if you should fall get back up
                      the path will guide so never give up my friend
                                     at times you may walk
                                        you may even run
                               crawling will never be shunned
                                  if the path becomes hidden 
                                           you may stray
                              just look up and find your guide
                       there are many obstacles and many paths
                               stay the course and do the math
