Why Do I Walk Each Day
I walk to be at peace with myself and my lord
Why Do I Walk Each Day
I walk to be at one with my life and my god
the stone path bends beneath my feet
the church bell waits among the peaks
its silence stronger than a thousand words
the mountain holds me in its shadow
its snow a crown for a sky too vast to name
the houses rest like prayers in timber
built with hands that knew both hunger and faith
I walk because the earth still listens
because the stream hums low behind the trees
because each step writes itself in silence
and I am not lost, only found in the climb
I walk to be at one with my life and my god
no riches needed, no jewel to bind me
only the air, the road, the stillness
and the voice that answers when I call.
