I Must Walk Little Steps
I Must Walk Little Steps......
From a day called the beginning;
to the one christened contemporary,
I must have certain understandings
of what has gone before,
I must consequently;
truly understand wise words of council be,
when written on manuscripts past,
that before I can be great
I must humble myself!
so, I can understand,
that I must walk in the shoes of another,
and before I can truly love
I must embrace a child,
then before I can be wiser within myself,
I must talk to the elders of my space
then before I can confess to knowledge
I must understand the pasts
and deeper still to engage my forefathers
I therefore must walk little steps.
