Sheridan, Wyoming–the only snow I have been able to walk through for the past 23 years.

Making Tracks

To be in front, you must not mind
that others will be left behind.
The more you gain, the more they lack
trudging along behind your back.
I hope, however, that you’ll be kind
to all of those you’ve left behind.
They’ll be rewarded for what each lacks,
for they can follow in your tracks.
So whether you go fast or slow,
please be careful where you go.
For no matter what you do,
no doubt someone will follow you.

The Prompt for SOCS is “In Front, and/or Behind.”

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.
