Don't Be Afraid

Though the path may seem dim

And your body grows old,

I'll hold the lantern for you

As we trek through the cold.

And if the forest is darkened

As we scurry along,

I'll remind you of that tune

So we can both hum that song.

I will keep the light burning

Till the dawn takes my place,

And you'll never be lonely

As you finish this race.
