Mentor by Sarah BoomBreaking sticks beneath my sneakers
Loose grass blowing in the breeze
There are footprints embedded within this path
And they don't belong to me
An older, wiser spirit
Has graced this path before me
Clearing all the entangled brush
Just so I may clearly see
Though I have never met this person
A friend she must surely be
For I am following in her footsteps
And she has yet to mislead me
So here I've spent my days, following anothers path
paved simply using my faith, and her words alone
And it seems to me that with every step I've taken
She's led me to the path, all my own
