Best Step By Step Poems
As we open our eyes
we see the beauty around.
As we open our eyes
we see the flaws around.
As we open our eyes
we tap into Friendship.
As we open our eyes
we learn new things.
As we open our eyes
we feel the beauty inside.
As we open our eyes
we thank people around.
As we open our eyes
we are grateful for opportunities.
As we open our eyes
we learn new things.
As we open our eyes
we realize everything step by step.
As we open our eyes
we feel pain.
As we open our eyes
we also laugh.
As we open our eyes
we believe life is all about step by step.

Yiddy awdy those ticks are here to stay.
Here and there but everywhere astray.
Tick tack I am going to laugh at that.
On the Moon or on the Sun I have sat.
Jump started or kick started my day has begun.
I’m holding a life of lifetimes on the go or run.
Yicky yacky just what is it that I am to do?
Run all over the galaxies in search of you?
Shucks you mucks, I’d do it all over again.
But from time to time you stop when I begin.
It’s a life of life’s bundling into one row.
Yet it is step by step in which it can grow.

From undertaker to conversation maker
The callers were now all alone
The clickerty - clack
Of the Strowger exchange
No operators needed to answer the phone
~GG~
An Undertaker called Strowger invented the Strowger Telephone Exchange making the need of an Operator to connect calls unnecessary. The mechanism made a clicking noise as it selected the dialled number. He then returned to being an undertaker.

Do not know you yet, after a whole
life slept with you, O my illusion,
groping and pawing- your
knowledge in vain- still there was
darkness between my fingers- light
streaming out from the nails-
2
The end of road- in the river,
the iron lace, hiding the math,
when the boat sank, I was
searching butterflies, it was the
navel, with a stitch on- tattoos
were gone- it was hot, too hot to handle-
3
Writing poem a day, my ritual
since last many years- still do
not find the right words- to convey
my unspoken hurts, I keep on
mending the threads, knitting a
wornout blanket again-

Step by step
Day by day
Reality is here
Not only to stay
But to bring others
To the conclusion
That life is just
Filled with solutions
Every action we make
Every breath we take
Any given time
Could result in a fatal mistake
Yet not to worry
Take life by the drop
If you can you shall
Make it to the top
But don’t worry
About problems and such
Don’t use your defects
As an excuse or crutch
A grain of sand
Is what life should be
Just experience the feeling
Of emotional glee

Step by step……………………..
I am moving closer to what I am supposed to
Suppose to do what I don’t know
I don’t know what I am supposed to do
Step by step………………....
I am moving forward towards to a new goal
To a place I am supposed to go,
A goal I struggle, but no one knows
Step by step…………………
My trouble circles like merry go
Intertwines with my flaws so I move slow
So slow my brain begins to over flow
Step by step……………….
I am over cumbered with thoughts inside my mind
They race to fast I am starting to trail behind
This life is leaving me, now’s not the time to be blind
Step by step…………….
I only see the negative path that I have lead
The truth of lies that I miss read
The rough water that my mind makes me tread
Step by step …………
I failed everybody I knew in my life
The tears that falls is the blades that cut me like a knife
My heart that bleeds deep, I don’t want to lose my wife
Step by step ………
I carry the unconditional love as a father
I hope she never ever bothers to wonder
But this burden is so deep. I don’t want it discovered.
Step by step …..
I am moving further away to what I suppose to
Suppose to do the things I never do
I am better off far away from both of you.
Step By step..

Step by step
this road has been a tough one
this journey has been long
blisters are upon my feet
the soles upon these shoes are no more
Step by step
each issue has been addressed
every option weighed
while many have fallen taking on this struggle

Seconds turn into days
Days turn into months
So on and on the clock turns
Step by step
Forever searching
Peace be still
My hearts yearns for truth
Step by Step
Where can I find you
Walk in the grayness
Mountain and valleys
Step by step
Closer and closer to the touch
Facing all fears
Beacon of light
Step by step
Never looking back
Forward becomes growth
Joy in the becoming
Step by step

We can feel and remember with our eyes and our minds..
I can write for hours telling my life from now to a
different time..
You don't so much learn from distress or heart break..
Nor does another view change what's not their when
you wake..
We can paint the wall a new bright color, yet its the
same doorway only now no cover..
I can close my eyes and still smell the spring,
breathing it all in as we know its more then a fling..
The stools on the walkway at that small cafe, holding
hands laughing if only for today..
Our missed flight in life has passed , maybe for the time..
These eyes can't go a lifetime without yours circling mine..

Bits and bites, that’s how it goes,
I make the steps, the rest to follow
I make them right, and so it goes,
I make them crooked, and dark it goes,
The wrath of a lead, then will follow,
Bits and bites, they got to be right,
To get to the light, of each step taken,
And what’s born, of those that follow,
It’s the curse of a lead, it got to be right,
It got to be right, and so it should go

Step by step you lead me, Lord
through this struggle we call life.
You're always there beside me
when the way is filled with strife.
Your love keeps right on lasting
Your mercy never ends.
You're always so forgiving
when I need to make amends.
Nothing I've ever done, Lord
makes me worthy of your grace.
I'm just a lowly sinner
who longs to see your face.

There's a place I love to walk along
that brings along a breeze in the air
as your feet in the sand leaves its mark
so thrilling having this place so rare
On Bonnie Scotland's country of Ayrshire
at Irvine's beach park on the west coast
looking back over the hilly slopes behind
such a picture of inspiration one can boast
One watches the waves roll in
so fully transforming upon the mind
the ripples of water so soothing
makes your pen move to be signed
Standing watching dogs have fun
splashing among the waters blue
matching the beautiful sky above
a picture indeed looks brand new
Memories of this keep me going
when in bleak winter can't get there
lifts your spirit makes one's ink flow
gives one's writing an added flair
(Writing on my favourite inspirational place to visit uplifting my spirits and give me the needed direction to write with heavenly guidance.)

Whispering as I Step
Out along rolling gentle Irish-lush grassy rises
walking came easily in those mid-years I
used my step to step in the passing on of my prayer for
I could have been kneeling or for that matter
even leaping for my soul was so full but I kept walking
quietly even wrapping my arms around my waist so
I could contain the physical to that particular point
I sought where the greatest energy could be found to
feel my center of being my living soul and then to
let it fly as I opened my voice to whisper again
and again “Aaaaah-llleee-llluuuu-eeeee-aaaaa” into
the wind that could hold it and carry it on and further
from my being to the being of our earth and
going on up to heaven where Our Lord does not only
hear but too feel my praises on the rippling currents
of the wind carrying my soul’s calls “Alleluia”
praises from within whispered to his whole all things
he created all we all creatures plants seas even
the rocks shout with us with me as I send
up another “Alleluiaaaaaa” then another another I am
shot through with joy the wind surrounds with grace
