One step at a time

One step at a time is the best way to go.

When going through life 

And travelling in 

The direction of 

Your dreams,

The best way 

To get ahead 

Is the simplest way: 

Take one step at a time.

Don't look over 

Your shoulder; 

If you do, 

You'll feel 

The weight

Of all your 

Yesterdays 

Upon you. 

And don't worry

About what lies ahead.

By the time you get 

To the bend in the road 

Or the crest of the hill,

You're going to be better

And stronger than

You ever were before.

Just go one step at a time, 

One day at a time.

And you'll find

A rich, thankful life 

You never thought 

You could afford.
