I've lived my whole life trudging

one slow step after another

managing accomplishments in life

powered by dreams now spent


well the accomplishments are fine

standing as they do on the husks and shells

of my previous endeavors

shining out on the rubbish heap of dross


while I'm weighed down in the debris

but still life has no end I can see

and one slow step after another

got me into this fix


and one small step after another

will get me out again...
