I keep walking, into the woods
with the puppy, and into the village
the world I live in
I keep walking, keep taking care
of the little ones, they run faster
and faster, further and further
I keep walking, in a circle
of family and friends that is
getting smaller and smaller
I keep walking, up the paths
into the lanes, over the dikes
in stages across the country
I keep walking, and sewing
for the brides, the most beautiful
dress of their lives
I keep walking, and arranging
what would otherwise be sorely missed
by those who can't do it themselves
I keep walking, I know
the forest and the lake, I can manage
the ascents and the descents
