Journey to the Alter


 

Boots too tight

Walking stick too tall

Can’t linger

Time won’t stand still

A young gentle woman sees that my shoes don’t fit

So she buys me some that make me feel like I’m walking on air

A young man sees my walking stick won’t do

He carves a new one for me designed just for my hand

Can’t linger

Time won’t stand still

I meet an old man who teaches me how to take care of myself

He puts a book in my hand and tells me

Words aren’t just words

Each one has a meaning

Use them wisely

Can’t linger

Time won’t stand still

A sweet young lady with a blue ribbon in her hair greets me with a rose

I take it and kiss her

Now she walks with me
