Reflections...

When i passed through a well- trodden path,

I realised i had yet to come up with my own goals.

I was merely following those

Well-meaning but empty headed souls!!

I just stopped by the road

And thought if i could find something new,

Just then i saw a little boy

Ploughing his way past grass and dew.

I called him aloud and asked him

 which way was he going,

whether he knew where that path took

or like me was he merely following.

The boy smiled and said,

He who knows of the path ahead

Is the only one above thy head

And continued his journey again...

Leaving me to smile at what he said!!!
