THE STEPS OF LIFE

The years we live stretch forth unexplained.

Our steps through life a delicate course.

Different emotions and passions to tame.

Dealing with the unexpected either happiness or worse.

Our strength and our failures derived from our genes.

A fountain of love and affection

Comes from deep within our soul.

We each try to protect the lives of you and me.

Thoughts of our loved ones that we want to share.

How easy it is to love and always be there.

I try to put music in each poetic stance

From a lifetime on earth with memories recalled.

My senses improving with each glance.

And they highlight each facet of romance.

All our children we teach to recite

Varied phrases that in our hearts they all dance.

We never forget the poems of old

Their powerful verses to be told.

Their lovely pictures live on in our thoughts

Reminding us of love in our minds to be brought.
