Walk With Me

Walk With Me

Come walk a while, my friend with me
While we have time to spend
I’ll tell you of the times enjoyed
With many precious friends.

I’ve been so many places
And done so many things.
I’ve tried to face the crises –
Whatever life might bring.

I’ve walked the wilds of Timbuktu
And sailed on all the seven seas.
There came a night in Paris
That brought me to my knees.

Sometimes the walk was lonely –
Sometimes two knew ecstasy.
Then came the time when three of us
Were there for all the world to see.

And life has brought me harvest
From a seed I am proud to have sown.
While I may not have walked a mile in your shoes --
 I have worn out a few of my own.

Secrets Inyoureyes Date: 8/31/2014 10:26:00 AM Amazing and lovely,sweet poem although I noticed you did have a small spelling mistake in the first part. :) Login to Reply Secrets Inyoureyes Date: 8/31/2014 3:49:00 PM Sorry it was a actually on the second part- I'm not sure if you were going to write crisis or you meant crises John Posey Date: 8/31/2014 3:36:00 PM Thank you, sweet friend, for your comment..... I have found that my spell check does not catch all it should...... If you are referring to "awhile" or "a while" they both passed so I flipped a coin.... Love ya dearly.....
