Can'T Catch Up To You Poem by Edwina Reizer

The ground you walk on will be for me
the path that I will follow.
For without you leading me where you go
my life would then be hollow.

I know the trail will be hard sometimes
for I'm not as strong as you.
But I will stumble and need your help
more times than just a few.

How you do what you do is more
that can ever meet the eye.
No one could ever keep up with you
for if they tried they'd die.

The energy you expend on each day
is more than I do in a week.
Just following you around with my eyes
makes me too tired to speak.

The only time I can catch up to you
is when you are fast asleep.
'Cause then I can synchronize my breathing
and follow the beat that you keep.
