Stewart Watkins Poet Didactic

Walking

You have to walk away before you can walk in
Something must die for a new to begin

So lace up the Rockport and sing, "Good Day."
Then gracefully walk with no delay

Shaking the old, dusty, haggard load
Now ease on down, ease on down the road

Know that walking away is not a sign of cowardice
Instead, it speaks to strength so walk in your purpose

Move boldly and aimfully ahead
Only sit at the table where LOVE is fed

This old cycle of life gon' keep on a turnin'
So make sure that the fire in your soul keeps a burnin'

Walking,  walking upright in the sunshine of life
Far away from the dark clouds of strife

Feeling the blessed rays from the sun
Giving sweet praise to the Almighty One

Just keep that rhythmic heel-to-toe flow
No looking back, straight ahead to your new chateau
