it is not enough to stare up the steps – we must step up the stairs.”

Sadly I do think I’ve probably spent quite a lot of my life staring up the steps…

The stairs are there to be climbed….Beth..
Step by step I climb
Steadily walking my path
Time is flying fast
Tunnel grows wider
Walking out of the forest
The light glows brighter
My bed of roses
Is scaling a wall of thorns
Perpetually
The sky isn’t all grey
Behind dark clouds there’s a glow
Where light grows brighter
