             STEP BY STEP
          By ... Steve Lucky

Step by step, inch by inch,
One crawls steadily forward.
The burden one carries may seem unbarable,
But it never is.
Gradually one can see forward progress
As long as one has the will to keep going.
Nonfatal errors are not the end of life.
Dealing with setbacks is one of many things
People have to do if they want to continue
Living through all the good and bad things
Found during the course of life.
Uncontrolable emotions add color
To the black and white reality of human existance.
Imagined objects can have an impact on the mind greater than
What people can actually see and touch.
For better or for worse,
Reality itself is shaped by the imagination.
Changes may not be noticed right away
But the change steadily occurs.
Many drops combine to form streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans.
Slowly but steadily, water shapes the entire surface of the world
And continues to shape it day after day.
Nobody is successful all the time
Or a failure all the time.
During the normal cycle of give and take on learns
How to achieve personal success.
Why should such things be measured by worldly standards?
Everyone has a chance for personal success,
No matter how unskilled they may be,
If they can learn to do things step by step.
