Our Journey

Lead:
When you are weak, and need my hand to hold.

Follow:
When your love knows best, I'll walk along.

Lead:
When the man sleeps, and the child awakens.

Follow:
When I look into those eyes, and know, you know.

Lead:
When they hate, and all you have is rage.

Follow:
When your frail ego, needs that little boost.

Lead:
When in times of strife, I see doubt in those eyes.

Follow:
When you are the teacher, and I, thirsty to learn.

Lead/Follow:
All that matters, is that we walk, hand in hand.


This is poem 24 for Robert Lee Brewer's April PAD Challenge 2011. Prompt: "Leader/Follower poem". The form is what my dear friend and poetess Dheepikaa has come to call as my trademark form.
