Show Me The Way

Show Me The Way

A Poem by Jeff Bresee

Someone had to show me the way,

though much of the time I just followed mine

so you watched from the distance, I know.

But it’s clear to me now, wish I'd seen it somehow

and done more to make sure that you know -

 your example means more than the whole world to me,

for you stood your whole life for what’s true.

Yeah, somebody had to show me the way…

Mom, I’m grateful that person was you.

Has the sound of understanding gained by experience. How fortunate to have a parent who served so well as an example. Not all are so blessed.
