Forward

some may 
go forward 
with you 
some may not

some may take
a different route
and join you 
later on

 
some may stay
a lifetime 
some
for only a season 

but whether they
go or come
remain 
or wander off

know that
your path 
needs you to
walk it 

so that 
the legacy 
of truth and love 
you carry

 
may shine on 
and shine on
and shine on!
