Long Steps For Growth
The joy in hearts is hard to steal and kill;
erase all hope and think of pain and loss.
If tears and words aren't true, can trust be lost?
Ah, pray to God to bless a heart and flame!
When fear enters your heart, continue to fight;
if strength and faith die out, cry out and wait.
Aren't friends in search of one who grows in love?
Aren't they the ones who stay and never leave?
Why hold on time, and not give as they give;
are some afraid to take long steps for growth?
