One foot and then
The other oh,
We weave with them
The way we go
Sunrises, sets
Melds each hello
With farewell’s
Fading afterglow
Dreamer-plans clash
With circumstance
Where where-we-go
Weaves new dreamlands
We learn, we teach
We reach, we bow
In the gamut
Of learning how
…to hold on tight
And let go soft
Yet carry with us
What we lost
One foot and then
The other, where
We leave behind
The way we were
