Given by my mother ~ a birthday gift for me
My very own diary with a small lock and key
And this message she had written on the first page
Good advice to follow no matter what your age
"Your life lies out before you
like a field of drifted snow
be careful how you tread it
for every step will show"
Your life really is like a trackless field of snow
If you follow others your steps will never show
Choose to make your own path and to yourself be true
Watch how steps are taken, others may follow you
That note in my diary remembered to this day
When she let go my hand to let me find my way
