Sometimes a hinderance is but help in disguise
Passing Through

Many lie in silent wait
not knowing what they do
to hinder those who travel
from ever passing through.
-
Tread lightly on the journey
lest you become a part
of those who try to finish
before they ever start.
-
Never let the "lag behinds"
that started with such zeal
hinder you in how you walk
or change the way you feel.
-
Tread lightly in your travel
in hopes that they will see
that life is more than living
for just "my four" and me.
-
Yes life is more than living
with only "me" in mind
for we are being measured
by what we leave behind
-
And those who lie in waiting
not knowing what they do
are only there to hinder
the one who would pass through.
