The old paths


 The old paths


Few of us recall the old paths

Once so well marked and open

When came the lean years

The neglected days

When we no longer knew the way

New paths were blazed

Straight and to the point

Uninspired and sterile safe

And so we trudged and tramped

Where once we meandered 

Merrily

Then came one who knew

The old crooked route

Who mended the fallen gate

Opened just enough the path

And though few still choose

This longer winding way

It is there

And not lost to the one

In need of some wandering along.
