Blind Leading the Blind
He takes my hand in his
clasped so tight
the knuckles turn white
The path he's choosing
I won't turn back
I won't let go
Who knows where it leads?
He doesn't I'm sure
He's just going on faith
that my hand will stay
clasped in his
that where we're going
is where we're meant to be
that the journey together
negates the need for a destination
So fearlessly he leads
and fearlessly I'll follow
Happy or bitter
we'll know in the end
'til then we're blindly
holding on

Really well done, Tracy. I agree that the destination is not nearly as important as the journey, especially if you have the right traveling companion at your side. Thanks so much for sharing this with us over at Poetry Jam this week!
