Stepping Stones Poem

Stepping Stones Poem

These poems are stepping stones
slick with wet moss
in the stream.
You may cross the stream on
these stones
and avoid the swirling water

but be careful with your step.

You can slip and fall,
fall in the cold water,
go down stream to
where we never
intended,
to the valley of the stepping stones
where the waters flow up hill and the
animals all know you and they know
the stories of the stones and they
tell them to you.
They tell you
Don’t give up.
Do not despair.
Have true hope and
love.
