My Trail

Someone once said, "Lead, Follow, or get out of the Way!"
My sentiments exactly.


Poem Artwork


 For three score and ten years
I've cut my own trail,
never having to follow
another dogs tail.

If you're not the lead dog
your view will never change,
and your life will be lived
as others arrange.

So follow my lead
if a follower you be,
just don't try to force
your path upon me.

I will listen with care
to what others may say,
then make my own
choice and go my own way.

It works well for me
and it may work for you,
but even if it doesn't
to your own self be true !

Henry, I laughed for several minutes about the beginning - (Someone once said "Lead, Follow or get out of the Way!" My sentiments exactly.) It's the little things like this that give us a bird's eye view into someone's personality and I truly love this attitude! The poem is great, I can almost see you smiling as you wrote it!

I agree with both you and May Lu - that everyone should do better.....

But I'm giving you a 10 for your efforts and writing which I believe you have given it your best at the time of your writing.

Thank you for sharing this!!!!!

You are right! That's just what I have been doing. I make my own judgment and follow my own path.
