Steps to the Future
Stand Tall
Stand Steady
Both feet firmly planted
You can see it all
Secure and safe
Grounded in what is
As you lift your foot
To step higher
You won’t lose your footing
But now you must balance life
Before that foot touches down
Many changes will take place
The heart may cry out
Your mind may sting with decisions
Comfort is gone
The list is in shreds
And even when that foot finds solid ground
Higher ground
Before you level out at a new plane
You must raise the other foot
And do it all over again
Just remember
To grab hold of the railing
Those who love you
Care about you
Arms out stretched
To brace you
Support you
To push you onward
To keep you going
Making new lists
To reach higher
Dream bigger
