Take the Staircase

Take the staircase,
although it may change as you move;
Take the journey, 
even if you slide down a banister or two;

Take two steps when you can, 
take one when it suits;  
Take that chance,
although you may need another;

Never think there is nowhere to go;
the only dead end is you; 
Take the staircase,
lean back and enjoy the view.
