Others walked first
before; some still walking.
Others moved on
crowned with glory,
honor.
Some walk with us,
share the pain,
speak some truth
just what we need here,
now.
Others follow where we lead
even when we feel we’re bumbling,
stumbling, needing leading,
but we lead
hopefully in the right
direction.
Thanks, God, for the folks around,
for choosing the right ones
to lead us, to walk with us,
and to teach us with our own
words when they seek our
help.
