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. Written by John Posey 8/14/14

Sorry it was a actually on the second part- I'm not sure if you were going to write crisis or you meant crises

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.....
