Once Upon A Staircase
From hand written journal to published book, I finally got there… Once Upon A Staircase ♡
Once upon a staircase
A giant step I made
Looking up to struggles
Down a waterfall cascade.
Another step is taken
A giant leap I take
All the different stages
With every step I make.
Once upon a staircase
Another step I took
Growing through the pages
Of a written journal book.
Inked in footprints
Left behind by stain
If I keep going
Only a few steps remain.
Once upon a staircase
I looked up the last time
A cascade of courage
In taking the last climb.
I took the final steps
A fear I had to face
I finally got there
Once upon a staircase.
