I've walked upon this path so long.
I've danced and sang to many a song.
When I look back all I can see
is that it's been quite a journey.
One full of joys and miseries.
Some even brought me to my knees.
I can be flowerlike; soft, sweet,
bright, strong and sturdy on my feet.
But I've been trampled, I've been beat
like a flower under one's feet.
I'm badly broken, bruised and sore
but I still need love...even more!
Will someone take my hand gently
walk together, this path, with me?
What's up ahead, I do not know.
But I want to let my fears go
and be able to skip along,
at peace, with melancholy song.
