Right From The Start

Right From The Start

by Bud Lemire on Apr 9, 2006

We make a chart

Right from the start

Then through life, we fill our cart

And hope that it won't fall apart

How many times has one step forward lead...

...to two steps backwards instead

That's no way to get ahead

Like spending the whole day in bed

We move in time, with all that's here

Overcoming obstacles, until they disappear

We ascend in growth, with all we learn

And take on what comes, at every turn

Then there are times when nothing will be

A time to search inside yourself and see

A place of peace for you to know

In time you'll see which way to go

Don't ever think you're in the wrong place

It was there for you, challenges to face

When you take time, to embrace the light

Right from the start, it'll be alright
