Walk with me©

This river before me is too inviting

It entices me to its center
Walk with me

The river tempts me to answer its call

I know once I enter

I’d be doomed to be lost forever

I hold no desire to walk deep beneath its shallow gathering

I beg for your hand placed tightly in mine

I only ask that you not let go

I know should you not take my hand

The river will surely have its way with me

Walk with me

Lead me away from the river

As quickly as our feet will carry us

I would prefer to nestle my toes in a field of grass

With flowerbeds scattered all about

Where the sound of sweet music fills the air

And laughter for all to hear

Walk with me

Through the tunnel towards never-ending bliss

Walk with me©
