| Shoulder Upon Shoulder � moon_grace Step lightly across the ground It is more than earth that bears you You are borne upon the shoulders Of all who came before. Push gently through the veil Of sorrow and missed opportunity For upon your shoulders Rests the foot falls of the child Who watches you through life To see how it is done. And shoulder upon shoulder we travel Let us carry proudly onward And teach the steps of life's dance. I pray to be an honor To the shoulders that carry me across the divide. And grant me the strength to be Those strong shoulders that will someday carry Across the abyss of time. |
