The Path

Go where the wind takes you,

Travel where the river bends,

Follow all that lays before you,

Walk the path until it ends.

Go to the place where the hawk flies,

Follow the trails of the leaves,

Listen to the sounds of silence,

Speak with nature and the trees.

Venture past the city gates,

Strut with head held firm,

Embrace that life for all it will offer,

Find someone to hold when it's your turn.

Never look back from where you've wandered,

Remember the home from which you came,

Always stand firm in what you believe,

Be free and may your heart never tame.
