Stepping Down
When I told
others, both family and fiends that I had written a poem called Stepping Down,
they all had different ideas to what it was about and frankly, it was inspired
by something totally different to what has been included here. The origins of
this work border too close on something too personal to reveal its roots but
I’m grateful to the almighty for giving me these words that though seeming
shallow have a great depth and hold my secret. I hope that it may still serve
to reach someone or many, in a special way.

Stepping Down So often it is harder than you might think Taking those first steps without a blink Each step gets easier but the trouble’s with the first Putting ones foot down is always the worst People didn’t leave the burning roof though the ladder was
there I read Peter couldn’t disembark caused the waters said beware Noises so you can’t go down the stairs in the darkened room Giving up a position to youth spells your eventual doom Didn’t take that step down until the bus had stopped Once you stepped onto the platform your courage dropped When I was young, for all these occasions I’d jump instead Now I’m even cautious when I Stepping Down from bed |
