Life is like a river
With stones to cross its path
But just which ones to step upon
Can be a mammoth task
For some can be quite slippy
And some won’t hold your weight
But when you’ve stepped upon them
By then it’s far too late
But this crossing is essential
For you know you need to be
Upon the other distant bank
Where you can roam for free
For this river holds a challenge
Another test in life
Were you have to make that journey
Towards that distant light
Where all your goals are waiting
For you alone to find
Across a bridge of stepping stones
Which you yourself designed.
