Steps

Kaylesha Yvette cooper 1978 (United States)

If you sit and observe
There are levels to this game
I can't let my blunders
Change my tomorrow
When I know from time to time
I make mistakes
It is true
We all do
It is expected day to day
But the emphasis
Has to be on limiting them
So we don't become held hostage
As our own mental entrapped slave.

    The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord
    And he delights in his way !
    Read Psalms 37 : 23 - 30

    But first seek the Kingdom of God and all these other things will be added to you !
