"Step by Step”
No matter how fast you walk
or run, it has to be step by step.
You cannot skip three or four.
They come one by one.
They can be short and delicate,
long and loud, stomping or quiet—
Still one step at a time.
You can take them in hiking books,
flip flops, tennis shoe, heels,
slippers, bare feet, or water shoes—
Still one step at a time.

They may be angry or happy,
begrudging or excited,
enormous or petite,
flippant or serious—
Still one step at a time.
We can be careless and fall
or cautious and keep up right,
or stand completely silent—
Still one step at a time.
We can step on or in it,
around it or through it
or over it or just stand motionless
and do nothing—
Still one step at a time.
It’s again all about choices
and where and how we step
or with whom we step.
So step well and firm,
forward, not backward,
and on, on to the victory—
begrudging or excited,
enormous or petite,
flippant or serious—
Still one step at a time.

So step well and firm,
forward, not backward,
and on, on to the victory—
Still one step at a time.
