Smile At the Foot of the Ladder

When you’re climbing upon each rung, you can’t always see that you’ve made it; Looking forward you don’t always know who’s behind you, no matter what; If you stumble just sit back look up for shooting stars; You may feel your faith tremble, your hope, your feet could slip; With each move you make find light in the darkest black; Climb a little slower, fight a little harder; Dance in the rain, sing with the thunder; Linger on the smile at the foot of the ladder.
