walk slowely



if you go before me dear'   walk slowly
down the ways of death'that worn and wide'
for i would want to over take you quickly'
and seek the journes of life ending up by your side.
i would so prould not to sorry you.
down the same shinng high way or road which we bought came;
 walking hand and hand just you and i
but walking slowly; dear and often look behind you
and the past is fare behind
 but just to hear if someone calls out our name;
remember just walk slowely with now fear
it well all be clear
