Just a foot beside me
Why not try climb them up?
Yea! It may be a chance
I took my leg forward in joy
Then on to the step I went
The steps went on rising high
As much as I climbed up high
I be careful I sang my mind
But lot more hardships waited
The path of steps narrowed too
Just a sigh could fall me
Pew! At last I reached the end
the end I suppose of the stairs
Alas! My eyebrows are grey
And my legs do shake very way
Oh! I am old old and very old
So long I was on stairs of life
There I see the heaven in front
No! thus were my life a step.

I really love how you have a picture to coordinate so beautifully with your poetry
This is a nice post about life, that is so true, you start out in life and before you know it you are elderly.
I like that...it makes one think... judy
More than getting old, its the strength which kept her moving forward isn't it.
I know the fear of not knowing how soon I will reach the last step.
speaks the hard reality.
very nice :)

Thanks for putting it down so well.
Hi Susan :)
Amazing poem along with a matching photo.
I like the way you portrayed the passing of life or lets say time. When you are young climbing is easy but as you grow older you have so many problems and worries to contend with. I will say my childhood days and my school days were the best period of my life. As I grew older the steps became narrower and climbing became more and more difficult with worries, cares,troubles, money problems, job problems etc.
I am still climbing and will continue to climb till the last day.
I still look forward to heaven as I looked forward to it when I was young because Jesus said HE will take me to heaven when I die. In other words, when I die I will not look forward to heaven because I will be heaven with God.
Many thanks for sharing this wonderful poetry.
