Precious Time

Just when you think you can’t go on much longer
With a whirlwind of issues plaguing your mind,
Take a step, just a step with all you have left.
Knowing, only a step is moving you forward.
The sights wait for you to look and see.
The fresh air waits for you to breathe.
You may think it isn’t enough with how you feel.
But a step is a step and a sight is a sight.
With each and every piece of beauty captured,
You will create your own scenery in your mind
To surround you with all that you have to endure.
One day your life will reflect all of the beauty.
One day, it will not be as it is right now because
You let yourself move forward in precious time.

This is meaningful, inspiring and it makes a lot of sense, Heidi. Each journey starts with the first step, and continues with others that follow. Every moment in time is valuable. ~ Regards // paul
