One small step
Then another
That's the way you start to climb
Put one foot before the other and you'll be there
All in good time

Don't look up
At the summit
That'll scare the best away
Turn your eyes away from it and look instead at today
The world is right beneath your shoes
Keep your eyes on the path you choose

Every rock
Every pebble
Has a story all it's own
One holds firm and one's a rebel that break away
And rolls on alone.

Don't despair
If you stumble
That's the only way to learn
Being brave
Keeps you humble
So take a step, take your turn
You'll find a thousand different views
As you walk
On the path you choose

Your journey seems endless
But how could you know?
It all flies by faster the further you go.

As you climb
You'll discover other travelers on the rise.
Take the time to walk together
And share the view
See with new eyes

Stop to rest
When you're weary
Put aside that stubborn will
Count the stars.
Count your blessings
And learn by just being still.
It's not a race
You win or lose

Walk don't run
Take it in
You'll soon be done
So begin
by taking one small step
On the path you choose

-Ruth Williamson (1996)
