THE GUIDE

   Still we walk on
   Through the valleys of snow
   Old man walks with me
   To short too have seen
   What this really means to me
   Echoes of the past
   Search for a place to land
   The guide shows the way
   Knowing I'm stumbling in the past
   Taught me well
   To know the difference
   Spirtually kind
   We know move on
   The guide shows the way
   Pointing to the faded pictures
   Can't take them with you he says
   To far  to reach anyways 
   Reaching the peak
   The valley is now below us
   He gives me my wings
   Me and old man, we fly again

- Robert Patrick Jackson
