One More Step

One More Step

Don’t worry if you’re moving slowly,
It takes time
To climb a hill.
One more step, however hard,
Is better than
Just standing
Still.

A little pause, (upon reflection)
Can be useful,
That is true.
But saying that, don’t lose direction,
Stick to what’s
In front of you.

The staircase of life’s challenges,
Can never be
Leapt up in one,
Success will come with steps each day,
So let’s keep calm,
And carry
On!

"My interest in poetry was rekindled in November 2017 when I was launching a literary trail on the Isle of Wight. The event was held at Farringford, the home of Alfred Lord Tennyson, and I read “Crossing the Bar" at the event. At the same time I was creating a tie-in with Michael Rosen’s children’s story “We’re going on a Bear Hunt” for a family trail the following Spring. Immersed as I was in the subject matter at the time, I started to think about writing poetry myself". Four years later I am reading and writing more poetry than ever before. I have a Facebook page and a website where I showcase my work and seek out comments from my followers to improve my future work.
