Waking as Friends
I've taken the quote "Don't walk in front of me I may not follow, don't walk behind me I may not lead, just walk beside me and be my friend" and made a poem around it.

Don’t
walk
in Front
of me,
I may
not
Follow.
~
Who knows
where,
you might
be Leading?
Will you,
unknowingly,
take me
somewhere,
of which,
I do not
Belong?
~
Will,
there be
obstacles,
of witch,
I cannot
surmount?
~
Will our,
paces
vary?
Leaving me
Alone,
as
you
move
on?
~
Don't
walk
behind me,
I'm may
not Lead.
~
Don't,
put your
fate,
solely in
these hands
of mine.
~
Not
knowing,
where
I shall
take you.
~
Maybe,
it’s a path,
that you’d
Rather,
not
traverse;
and While,
saying
no words,
our
paths,
Silently
Diverge.
~
Leaving me
Alone.
as you
drift,
further,
and further
behind.
~
Just
walk
beside me,
and
be my
Friend.
~
Together,
Our
Direction,
Our
Goals,
become One.
~
As we
Keep in Pace,
with
The other.
speaking up,
if
Something
is
amiss.
~
Listening,
and
talking,
Together,
as
Equals,
as
Friends.
~
Don’t
walk
in Front
of me,
I may
not
Follow.
~
Don't
walk

Just
