The Pond Less Traveled

 Linda Rosenkrans

You may be unacknowledgedβ€”

smile and carry on anyway.

You might be forgottenβ€”

smile and carry on anyway.

Invisible within the Holy Ghostβ€”

smile and carry on.

You may get burnedβ€”

smile and carry the torch anyway.

You must not speak of itβ€”

smile, the message is within you.

Go forth in courage, spirit traveler.

You may have to walk and swim…

Alone.

Yet, you are never truly alone.
