A Pedestrian Musing
by Lacy D PhillipsI will fall in step with you, my love,
measure my gait against your own
and match you step for step.
No matter which of us possess
the advantage in length of limb,
we will arrive together.
I am no endurance runner, as you know.
Nor am I built for the sprint.
I prefer a purposeful stride,
a straight path,
and you at my side.
Or are you my destination? 02/26/2009 Posted on 02/27/2009
