Gently place your foot upon


Gently place your foot upon the road, the simple start of every journey.

 

Little do you know, that this road is me,

I will bring you to where you need to be,

 

I can be your road.

 

Use caution when crossing my stone, I am not a path you can tread swiftly. 

 

Your shoes will wear with every stride,

Like emerald waves broken by the tide,

 

I can be your road.

 

In blankets of darkness and in the sun, I am that long road you travel on.

 

Does this conclude our journey my friend?

Have you finally reached that bitter end?

 

I can be your road.

 

But, be carful...

 

I have split into two,  so please choose wisely,  

that next road you take, may not be as kind as me.
