Walk don’t run
Easy does it!
Not stepping out of line
A common compromise
Not upsetting the apple cart
Stepping on a toe
One ought to be careful
Lest one get rewarded with a bloody nose
Walking in steps
Like soldiers do
Disciplined and proper
Step in the right direction
It’s a good education
Dignified with successful conclusion
Taking many steps
Play safe with
Life’s choices
Stepping stones in discoveries
Step carefully is the way to be and yep avoid stepping on a toe
ReplyDeletethe steps we take define us
ReplyDeleteeach step we make is a choice....and try as we might we wont always make the best, but....we try...and try not to get too many steps ahead of ourselves as well..
ReplyDeleteYes, life is a series of steps. We must take them with caution.
ReplyDeleteI love the "stepping stones in discoveries". Good one, Hank.

ReplyDeleteHank,
ReplyDeleteA beautiful poem which immediately reminds me of the particular stage in life that my little grandson is at just now. Walking, running wanting to explore alone...You know that very inquisitive age ( 2-3 years). Youe poem has it all there with now and what is yet to come, step by step...
