The road is rough, I said Dear Lord, there are stones that hurt me so. And He said, Dear child, I understand, I walked it long ago.
But there is a cool green path, I said, Let me walk there for a time. No child, He gently answered me, The green road does not climb.
My burden, I said, is far too great; How can I bear it so? My child, said He, I remember weight. I carried my cross, you know.
If only, I said, I wish there were friends with me Who would make my way their own. Ah yes, He said, Gethsemane was hard to face alone.
And so I climbed the stony path Content at last to know That where my Master had not gone I would not need to go.
And strangely then I found new friends; The burden grew less sore As I remembered-long ago He went that way before.

*Gethsemane; The place in the New Testament of Jesus's agony and betrayal, a garden east of Jerusalem near the foot of the Mount of Olives; an instance or a place of great suffering.
