It's a journey of a million steps and more,
counted each then lost score.
Placed on sand, concrete, carpet, dirt, and,
God knows what on a public bathroom floors,
counted those as four.
Some were composed,
taken in grace,

Some more to stumble,
some on hand and knee,
in light of day, dark of night,
when could and couldn't see,

Some in hope and happiness,
others just plain in hell.
With some,
would see to overcome,
others not so well,
and fell,
so counted each
half equal or double
Steps taken,
some up hill,
some down mountain,
some in thin air,
some on top of ants,
paws,
pants,
and those who did care, ...
