POEM: One step after another

Just put one foot in front of the other,

One step after another, that’s how you should live your life,

Keep putting one foot after another.

You start with little stumbles in life and gradually leap to life,

When you get in a tricky situation just take one step after another,

Keep walking; cross that line, don’t look back.

Keep going, walk faster, jog, sprint forward and keep taking one step after another.

Keep looking forward, don’t worry if you look back and trip,

Even if you break your hip, you just take another step.

Just one step after another, its all it takes,

Just keep going, keep running, be happy, be proud, and keep going.

Whatever life throws at you just take another step,

Climb, crawl, life will be cruel, just keep up, don’t look down, 

Walk forward over that tightrope for you are the one in control. Pull yourself on, keep going on.

Don’t go back, don’t look back,

Save yourself, save your mind;

You are the one you that needs to keep going on.

One step after another, it all you need to know,

One step after another that’s the way you need to go,

Keep putting one foot forward, and don’t look back.

The things you are meant to remember,

Will be waiting for you at the other end,

Everything has to mend,

Just keep taking one step forward around the bend.
