AS YOUR FELLOW SOUL WALKS ALONG HIS PATH
You may meet one cloudy day
If he asks - hold hands, or pass a broom
So that he can sweep the dust away
  Don't
push him down your own sweet road
That may not be for him
Just hold up the mirror so he can see
More clearly and safely within
And if he should choose to turn around
And walk back down the hill
Don't pull him back, don't shout, don't run,
You know not where he's going
He'll be heading for a place he needs
Whether it's full of sun or snowing
Look at the mirror, you may one day be
That person walking down that hill
Would you want a well-meaning soul
To hold you back only because it's their will?
Continue
on with your own path,
Learning along the way
Growing and going with each new
Topsy turvy day
The time will come when you meet again
With that fellow soul
  And
how can you help unless your own
Mirror is clean and whole
Each of us is a mirror for
All those souls around us
They look and see themselves and us
And may continue on their way
A little bit clearer maybe or not
But that's not for us to say
Just be all that you can be
Keeping your mind and your heart open wide
Knowing we're all flowers from one tree in bloom
Discovering our flame inside
