Step Forward

Dead before the death,
The life you lived before you left,
The smile which died before the seventh step.

Never shown a dim light it's just kept,
Steps towards success which kept you in debt,
The idea, never climbing to reach the mountain's cape

Values and Morals which were never sincerely kept,
Eyes meant to be wet,
Sweat's drop meant to be swept.

But it is to "Hope" to keep the man together taking each step
letting no tear make your face wet.
