Step By Step Poem by Peter S. Quinn

Step by step I’ll go your way
Step by step the door closes
There shall come another day
Full of temptations and roses

But remember only this
A rose will sometimes sting you
Not everything is had from a kiss
If it comes from lips that are untrue

Sometimes people forget too fast
Feelings that give them so much
And then when those moments are past
Occasionally they remember one touch

Step by step I want to stay
Go and find life's role that poses
Feelings that come and go as they may
Like the fading of summer roses

What we forget - we won’t really miss
Temptations will run through
A kiss on hot lips is just a kiss
That becomes - a true love or untrue
