The Stairs

THE STAIRS

The stairs of life is often times filled with potholes and strife
And many choose to find their way with a wife
Each step along the way presents a new challenge to all
Hoping knowledge and wisdom will guide to those who answer the call
Plans are made for the future of what we hope and pray
Of which many are awashed ashore on any given day
Dreams and wishes live within all men on earth
Starting with each blessed birth
Setbacks and tragedies will endure along the path of the stair
Showing we all need to beware
For the stairway of life is not straight and narrow you see
And fate has a hand in each step along the way for you and me
Forgiveness and love is the reason we exist
Sadly many do resist
Joys of life through the stairway of life will endure
Showing mankind that giving is the final cure
For all the pain and horror we see
Will evaporate for you and thee
Love, give and forgive is the way
For to reach the top of the stairway, that is why we stay
To achieve all we can in our lives and do the best we can
Knowing that is why did all we could for all of man
