The Stairway

There's a stairway in my mind
Built with many thoughts.
The stepping stones to heaven
That I have been taught.

I try to take them
One step at a time.
But if I should slip
I get up and try once more.

I make sure the journey
Is started with a prayer.
This is the thought
That helps me get there.

This is priceless and especially when written from the heart...We all do have our stairs to climb and that,too, I have been taught...

Yes, and I don't believe it is about religion but a faith in a higher power and a higher purpose waiting for us at the top of that stairway. You captured your thoughts well here George.

Your expressions of faith, George, are touching and refreshing to this reader. Your poetic mind remains sharp and intellectually productive. richard

one can only keep climbing and moving on, hoping the stairway always moves upward ...

nicely done, George ...

Even through our personal teachings, we must
climb our own stairs of life. For some it
can be a slippery slope, for others a gentle
climb.

But we all learn by each step George Carroll

Lovely write

Love and light

Ah, George, that stairway has been greased so slippery I am unable to climb it. Too many things I can't delve out in my mind. Faith is the answer, yes, I know. I'm just having trouble following anything with blind faith and devotion. I'm writing a novel, almost through with the first draft, called "The Late Great God," and it is about a man who is searching for answers.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
