there are paths ahead
always steps to take
 |
| around the boulder - then left or right ... |
the way may be easier
but when to rest
a place to sit is
not so easily found
else steps are steep
and like the path
the end is out of sight
we would stop sit
down discouraged
soon find ourselves
at the bottom step
looking at our feet
maybe that is why
the angel's stairway
hidden from our eyes
our hearts still search
for light on the path
a step or two ahead
we lay to sleep to wake
in joy to live in steps
