Stepping Stones

by Shelly Wiseberg

Nothing in life comes easy
When you miss that stepping stone
Falling to the ground skinning bone
Stinging skin with shattered thought
Crippled walk hurt and bruised
Everything to lose in personal defeat
Weary mind worn heart tattered and torn
Inner strength to move ahead
Can't go on

Nothing in life comes easy
When you miss that stepping stone
Believe and never quit
You can't go wrong
Standing on solid ground
Each step bringing you closer
To your destined path
Smoothing out rocky road
Heart and mind heals
With the right feel
Determined to move on
To every new destination
Staying strong
