What's That to You...You Follow Me

I often find myself on the outside looking in.

I often find myself left behind in the dust

of a new movement that gets past me

before I even see it coming.

I try to join the crowd but they move too fast for me

and I find myself walking the path alone.

But soon, in the quiet of that lonely path,

I am joined by a Presence I know very well

and immediately recognize.

The Presence softly smiles and speaks to my heart.

“I too have been left behind in the dust;

I too find myself on the outside looking in.”

I smile and we walk on together.
