One Step Forward
"One step forward and two steps back
Nobody gets too far like that
One step forward and two steps back"
Life sometimes seems like that:
The steps that take you back, take
You back to childhood; take you back
To hidden fears and phantom failures,
That never happened, yet seem so real.
Nobody gets too far like that;
Yet that's what life is -
One step forward and two steps back.
And yet; sometimes two steps forward,
Followed by one step back,
Takes me a little closer to happiness.
Two steps forward: I can tango with that,
Just one step backwards then
Two steps forward in the dance of life;
I could go a long way on that.
Two steps forward and one step back.
