first step

It’s been a while since we came here new;

we fumbled and stumbled not sure on what to do.

But look at us now, almost up this new step.

We’re getting closer, but we’re not quite there yet.

We’ll say some hellos and good byes as well.

We’ll make some new friends and have stories to tell.

We have grown so older and have grown with friends;

we’ve healed some heart- aches and some broken mends.

We’ve been there in the good and in the bad,

and we’ll never forget these times we have had.

Soon we will have to let this chapter slip away,

and begin a new one a brand new day.

We will step up higher and grow a little more.

And learn a new lesson and open a new door.

We’ll be sad at times and as happy as can be,

its all a part of growing up you see.

I’ll admit that I’m nothing less than scared,

and I’m hoping to god that I’ll be prepared.

But deep in my heart I know I can succeed,

and I can triumph over any hurtle that I meet.

I’ll stumble sometimes but I’ll come up all right,

and I won’t ever fall if I keep good in sight.

I wish the same for you as we take this step,
and do me one thing please never forget.
