When you are taking
small steps
don’t forget
to look back
at where you started,
when you feel
downhearted,
at your footprints
in the ground
where you found
things hard,
but kept going
regardless,
even when you
make slow progress
it’s all a part of
the process
of moving forward,
toward the future
and a time when
you can begin
to make big jumps,
and leaps
and bounds
when you have found
the strength
to stride.
But you start,
with small steps.
