Unseen pathways ahead are full
  Of switchbacks and great ruts.
Should you get a foot entangled -
  I can help you regain your steps.

None of the routes are easy;
  There's no formidable plan.
I only know forward is the way
  So I will follow behind.

Today is not new nor bright;
  It hides a lot of middle ground.
I am the friend in your life
  That brings some peace of mind
