Chicken Soup For The Soul- Redone

One Step Behind

Each day is an endless parade to a

Destination unknown,

Life leading you on an unmarked path not

Clearly shown.

Some parts of your path may be rugged

And steep,

And others have crevasses infinitely deep.

*

There are times on your journey where

To go, you know not,

For in a dense fog, your body is caught.

Unable to see what lies ahead of the way,

Uncertain to when this haze will eventually

Stray.

*

There are times when I am caught in

This confusion, too,

Not knowing where to go, not knowing

What to do.

But no matter how dense the fog when I

Turn to see,

Your smiling face looking back at me.

*

With reassurance in your glance,

I know you'll always be there,

Only one step behind,

Each step taken with care.

*

I hope that you know, when you are lost

In the mist,

Feeling unloved, alone and unmissed,

That if you glance back, you will find,

That I will be there, only one step behind.
