With blinders on,
we move forward ~
guided by self-interest
and needs --
...but often times,
these blinders blind us.
Headlong (head-strong),
we stumble along life's pathway,
unaware of beauty
being trampled underfoot.
Are we so arrogant,
as to live solely for ourselves,
ignoring those around us?
Life's golden road
is paved by love we show others ~
helping those along the way,
who, themselves, may be blind...
A simple gesture,
smile, or kind word
may be all a person needs --
cliche', yes, but true!
For one day, my friend,
if thou doth walk
with blinders on,
the one needing help
...just may be you.
