Step Back

It often seems

That people have need

To just some how

Take a step back

For the lack

Of looking ahead

They find they are not

Where they wanted to be

Now it is too late

And there isn’t a way

To get back to where

They have the need to be

They have the want

To have a way

To get back to where

They didn’t look ahead
