Father walk before me
to make my path clear
but do not allow me to tary
in the following

within Your grace let me linger
though not for too long
lest in my imaginings
I forget how to 'walk thru'

allow me the dignity of my values
without outsourcing my conscious
to the lowest bidder
dressed in fine clothing

show me the Light
that will illuminate my next step
as bright as the sunlight
that plays tag amidst my shadows

guide me Father
to Your clear waters of thought & action
lest I forget that the alegator
swims close to the surface
