One More Step to Take – Moving Forward in Life, Reaching Your Goal, One Step Away, Do You Take It?
One More Step to Take
Just one more step to take
while finish lines
define destiny
breathlessly I stop
and wait
should I cross?
this race is mine to win…
but hush!
time creates a pause
and as I stare at the gate
In a moment that is now,
I cry
because victory means goodbye
and beat down by persistence
I no longer know why
selfish eyes controlled my feet
so resolute, I return,
and do not cross over
for I have many more steps to take
and reluctantly admit…
a great deal to learnBy Barbara Tremblay Cipak, Copyright Protected
Poem about Destiny: This poem speaks from two angles: The first is the reluctance of a person to move forward in life to grow and to take the next step necessary to leave what’s done behind.
The other is a person whose spirit has left their body and during their near-death experience, get to the gates of heaven realizing they have to go back because they haven’t completed all they’re meant to do. In either case, there’s more to learn.
