One More Step

Every day I climb some stairs A few steps here and few more there; One by one until I’ve found The destination where I’m bound. Some days my steps are small and sure Never less and never more; Always ground in gravity’s grace Never questioning my own place. But other times while in the dark I stumble looking for my mark; While moving upwards, homeward bound Not knowing what might soon be found. And so I move each day I live Praying for one more step to give; Myself another view of life And chance to see the stars at night. One more step to the rooftop high Where all good climbers reach and strive; For one more sunrise, one more set And all I ask is one more step.
