One Step Forward Poem by Matthew Holloway

So here we go, first step
Along a path of uncertainty
Beginnings of a journey
Ask now what stories will come
What memories shall be made
And where will it end
~
Enter a stride
A rhythm kicking in
Days, weeks, months passing
Soon a year will pass
The future is coming
Walk right in
~
Now a sprint
Double step along the path
Time passing quicker
Try to capture all you can
The scenery the scent
The route taken
~
The warm down walk
Nearing the end
Journeys almost over
Share your tale as best you can
The inevitable will come
~
The future is unknown
The journey is yours
And the tale what you make it
