Is there a switch
That you can toggle back and forth
Between on and off
Willfully at your control
And in the waning moments before the darkness falls
Engage that switch and ignite a light that
Prevents the likely stumble
On the uneven pathway
The same tumble I nearly took
Just yesterday
(I wonder why I carelessly let such an easy task go…
To make my way smoother
Clearer of hobbling stones
And careless debris)
I am not careless
I will hold the lamp for you
And guide your hand along the course
Need be
So why not me
As we both find ourselves
Passing this way?
