Stepping Stone

Alexander Lawrence 1966 (Hollywood)



From the depths deep within our soul
The truth reflects within.
Our lives are a story to be told,
And the places we have been.

There is a lesson to our misgivings,
A change is just a stepping stone.
The life that we have been living,
And the fear of the unknown.

Voices of the past only fade away,
Like faces in the rain.
Time is the essence as we live each day,
Only memories remain.
