Step, Step, Step

Step, step, step You see your feet move forward But you move nowhere and nowhere can be found Your feet feel heavy, what once felt light The ease of trampling now seems like a dark night Air, cold and chilly, challenges you forward It pushes you to feel a warmth never felt before Touch the dream, taste the feel In order to move anywhere you must push the air The apple falls from the tree due to gravity But to pick it up and taste its juiciness, You must defy that gravity It is the time to defy gravity and move from the rut To shake off the dust and be prepared to experience the new To move, feel light and free Up, up, up This is how we step, step, step Away from a hole that holds us back Because beyond the hole, An adventure waits to lighten our step Let the excitement push the load And step, step, step

Great encouragement and wisdom . . . yes taking those first few steps to overcome the negativity takes great strength . . . but joy awaits down the road. Nicely done.
