Life Poem by Starfish ZA

Life...
step forward,
bit by bit,
one day into another,
one year into the next.

Years and years,
we keep moving,
sometimes slowly,
sometimes without knowing
how far we have come.

Time slips into oblivion,
quietly,
without asking,
without warning,
taking yesterday with it.

No knowing when,
no knowing how long,
no knowing what waits
beyond the days
we have already lived.

Step forward,
bit by bit,
through the years
and through the changes.

Not knowing
what the future holds,
not knowing
where the road will turn.

Still moving.
Still believing.
Still standing firm.

Years and years,
some remembered,
some forgotten,
some held close
because they changed us.

Life keeps moving,
whether we are ready
or not.

And time slips into oblivion,
leaving only traces
of where we have been.

No knowing when
everything may change.
No knowing

what tomorrow carries.

No promise
that the road will be easy.
Only the choice

to take another step.

Bit by bit.

Life...
step forward,
bit by bit.

Years and years,
time slips into oblivion.

No knowing when.
Not knowing
what the future holds.

But here we are.
Still moving.
Still standing.

Standing firm.
