You have guided me still Lord,

To footpaths out west.

A 2,650 mile mission,

Along Pacific Trail’s crests.

I’m Walking for Walden,

My sister, my friend.

Whose love's etched in rainbows,

From beginning to end.

Dear God, keep me safe,

And absent of fear.

Keep me healthy and strong,

And remind me You're near.

When the desert floor’s hot,

And my body is weary.

Please show me a vista,

That makes my eyes bleary.

In memory, each day.

I’m Walking for Walden,

To remember my sister.

Keep my family at home safe,

And free from disaster.

Please show me Your beauty,

Through desert and snow.

On top of Mt. Whitney,

And a red sunset’s glow.

Please help me to grow Lord,

And keep my heart full.

I'll mind Your example,

Like the moon’s gravitational pull.

Please help me to listen,

To nature through You.

When I hear all Your songs,

And sing along too!

I’m Walking for Walden,

As she sits by Your side.

Her memory lives on here,

A footpath of pride.
