Just Walk Beside Me
"Don't walk too far ahead,I may not follow..."
Your steps are so much swifter than my own,
If I lose sight of you within the distance,
I doubt that I can continue on alone.

"Don't walk to far behind ,I may not lead..."
I lack the strength of soul that you possess,
And If you lost your way because of me,
The both of us would face wilderness.

"But walk beside me..."so that I may know
the sweet companionship your presence brings,
So may we, hand-in-hand and heart-to-heart,
Help each other on to higher things.
