Together We'll Walk The Stepping Stones.
Come, take my hand, the road is long. We must travel by stepping stones. No, you're not alone. I'll go with you. I know the road well, I've been there. Don't fear the darkness, I'll be with you. We must take one step at a time But remember we may have to stop awhile. It is a long way to the other side, And there are many obstacles.
We have many stones to cross, some are bigger than others, Shock, denial and anger to start. Then comes guilt, despair and loneliness. It's a hard road to travel, but it must be done. It's the only way, to reach the other side.
Come, slip your hand in mine. What? Oh, yes, it's strong, I've held so many hands like yours. Yes, mine was one time small and weak like yours. Once, you see, I had to take someone's hand in order to take the first step. Oops! You've stumbled, go ahead and cry. Don't be ashamed, I understand Let's wait here awhile and get your breath. When you're stronger we'll go on, one step at a time. There's no hurry.
Say, it's nice to hear you laugh. Yes. I agree, The memories you shared are good. Look, we're half way there now, I can see the other side It looks warm and sunny. Oh, you have noticed, we're nearing the last stone and you're standing alone. And look, your hand, you've let go of mine, We've reached the other side.
But wait, look back, someone is standing there. They are alone and want to cross the stepping stones. I'd better go, they need my help. What? Are you sure? Why yes, go ahead I'll wait, you know the way, you've been there before. Yes, I agree, its your turn my friend.... To help someone else cross the stepping stones.
