These words have been rambling in my head - just thought i would share.

I laid down my burdens
And I picked up yours
You were so young and weak
It never seemed fair

But this journey is so long
And your load is so heavy
You collect more as we go
Yet I'm carrying it alone

If the end was in sight
I would try to go on
But I’m lost myself
And the end is far

So my child I must drop your burdens
For you to pick up
I’ll carry mine
You carry your own

I love you my child
You’ll never be alone
But if we both bear our own load
Then we may make it home
