Walk On Poem by John Firhill

Together we’ve walked a long trail You and I
at times in some rugged terrain
The baggage’s been heavy,
the streams sometimes fierce
But with You by my side it’s been bearable pain

The last trail we hiked, in mountains so wild
I struggled more than You could see
A hurricane storm
was trying to tear
The bond tied between You and me

In spite of the struggle and pain I now feel,
and wonder if You also do
From this valley of gloom,
with all of my zeal
I do want to walk on together with You

Whether winter is coming with cold winds and snow
I still pray that the weather gets drier
But if you must walk on
I just want you to know
I’ll always wait here for You by the fire
