TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME


It's true that sometimes life is full
Of trying circumstances,
And sometimes we must struggle
For just minimal advances.

Despite events that slow us down
And magnify our worries,
We must learn that progress is
A word that seldom hurries.

To try to grasp the total picture
Is a strong temptation.
Often we attempt too much
And add to our frustration.

Laying out before us
All the tings that must be done
May be harder than to focus
On a single one.

Don't approach so many tasks
That all your hopes are gone.
A single step will lead you to
Another later on.
