Stepping Stones When stepping on life’s stepping-stones Be careful you don’t break your bones For heaven is a far, far piece Especially to sign a lease It lies within a special place As fragile as mantilla lace A place of rainbows hew on hue Of butterflies and mornings dew Each stone goes up into the sky They flow forever to the eye Each one a pain each one a strain Each one a level and a plane The stepping stone a life in climb A mixture of the minds entwine It has no resting place to stay It’s a one on one each day. But do not make too much of one Until the paradox is done |

I saw the rise of stones to sky and thought I caught a glimpse of eye who winked at me with cheery grin inviting me to step right in... but slogged was I in clay of earth seems that I still have some birth of ideas to bring to others, see? So woe oh woe, I cannot flee... ![]() Good morning, Sy!!! |

![]() (smiles) Oh Seymour, this is beautiful, sweet friend, if the mountains truly exist and can climb to such heights, surely we can live to climb and see the heavens soon enough as rocks too can speak volumes! (big huggggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! ![]() May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |
