WALK WITH ME

WALK WITH ME

Come with me and walk a while

Down a sweet and shaded lane

Let's spend time together 

Like sunshine after rain.

Let's take in all the beauty

Of this pretty shaded bower,

We will hear the sweetest bird song

And smell the fragrance of the flower.

We will sit a while and ponder 

As good friends often do,

About the times we've spent together

And the plans we hold brand new.

We'll talk about the children grown

And about their baby days

About the times they ran so freely 

And their knees held many a graze.

Let's talk about the pain we've felt ~

The struggles we've been through

We will talk about the joy we felt

When life began anew.

We'll share the times when we felt lost

And fear became our friend

How that the sun was shining

Just around the bend.

The comfort that our friendship brought

When days were cold and grey

How that we lifted each other up 

And helped along the way.

There will be laughter here

And also tears of sadness,

But over all of that will be 

The blessed tears of gladness.

We will gently sit in silence 

And let Nature do her part

In bringing joy and comfort 

To a tender, fragile heart.

Walk with me in nature

Gather strength right to the end

We shall cherish hours together 

And share the joy my friend.
