The following is a Memorial Tribute I wrote for my friend, Rose, when she passed. She was a quilter and did beautiful work. It conveys what life is all about.

A STEP AT A TIME

I'm glad life is given us bit by bit,
In minutes, and days, and years.
If we were faced with the whole of it,
How filled it would be with fears.
With all its laughter and its pain,
Its sorrow and joy and care,
Why, even its beauty all at one time
Would be more than we could bare.

But God drops a bit of happiness here
And lowers a shadow there.
Each of us has his portion of both,
The bitter and the fair,
And whether the way be rough or fine,
It's a comforting thing to know
Just one step to take at a time,
Just one little day to go.

This poem has a copy write..
What a beautiful poem! :P
