I Walk Softly

I take my time and walk softly now To defuse life's briny thorns Which have been laid across my path Since such time when I was born. It makes no sense to stamp my feet To further enhance my flawed ambition. To be thought a fool at every turn Where others mock my trite condition. So I walk softly now upon the grass Leaving no harm to time and space With a vain hope those who follow me Will find no mark upon this place. But the danger lies in happenstance And a wasted life a tad banal As I fear without some modest gesture, It will be like I was never here at all. The End For those who are interested. I will be posting my cartoon 'Bob's Your Uncle' on my homepage. A new one will appear every couple of days or so.
