Analysis of Along Lifes Many Paths
Sara Cafferty 1988 (Rhode Island)
My friend, won't you come and walk with me
down life's narrow, winding road!
Such perfect confidants we'll be , helping bear each others load.
My neighbor, wont you come row with me down life's seemly endless streams?
Where this stream ends, you soon shall see,
We'll realize our dreams.
My love wont you join your life with mine, two hands, two hearts, one soul?
And throughout life's journey, so divine,
we'll make each other whole.
We'll walk through life, our two souls one, And with blessings from Above,
we'll meet again, beyond the sun,
My friend, my neighbor, Love.
