Footsteps

You walk two steps and think one thing


"What, now, will my future bring?"


You skip a step and hop one more


And wonder what you're moving for.




What is the benefit of wondering what your future will be,


When you're stepping into it


With each movement of your foot?


Each skip, hop, and shuffle of your toes


Defines where you will be.


Choose wisely the corner you will turn.

The path you take will shape who you become.
