One Step


One step,

One simple step.

One step that will change life as I know it.

There is no need to remain stuck in a hole,

Just take the step.

I will try to step towards a better future

Where I can live without fear of being kicked out of my house.

I will stumble,

But I will get right back up and continue to take a step in the right direction.

I will step towards a life of wealth that is used to keep my family thriving.

I will step towards a life of wealth that is used to keep others surviving. 

But it all starts witih one step,

One simple step,

A step that will change life as I know it,

A step that will change the lives of others

A step that is my job to take so I can have a better future,

So strangers I meet can have a better future.

And it all starts with one step.
