The Next Step ~ 2


If we know anything for certain,

it’s where our feet are.


At night when we go to bed

relieved of socks and shoes


cool air caresses away the tiredness.

In the morning when we arise


they are rested and waiting 

for shoes and socks once more.


They depend on our minds for direction ~ each step quick or slow.


If our minds are slow our steps will be slow

Is it time for tea, a good book and a comfy chair?


If our minds are quick, our steps will be quick 

Is it time for a walk in the cool morning air?


Our feet will go where we direct them ~

certain that they will take us through the next step.


“Life is only built with those steps we take.”

~ Samuel Greenlees, The Fall of Never
