The Lamp

I've walked this path, many times
the lamp in my hand
with my little one asleep,
secure in the comfort of my arms.

How time has flown!
Sure footed and strong, he moves ahead
the lamp aloft in his hand,
looking back to watch my measured tread.


Soon my time will be done,
I'm content.
the lamp will continue to glow
and guide him through this journey.
