Role Model
I should have known;
I could not really guess.
We have all really grown.
Sometimes we walk,
but sometimes it is not easy,
and we just hobble.
So we look for a guide
and start to imagine a role model.
We try to find a person
who can fit that guise,
so instead of hobbling, we walk
with our newfound guide:
a role model to help us on our way.
James Garratt – August 1995
