Stepping Closer
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Each day I make new strides
And step closer to finding me.
I make new goals in which to strive
And make new friends to complete me.

I open my eyes in the morning
Expecting a great day;
Some end up good –
Some I push away.

When I step closer to the one I love
I feel the energy radiate around.
I have felt this energy flowing
But not recently; not in this town.

I know when that someone is near –
I can feel her presence moving.
I can feel her stepping closer
And starting things improving.

One morning I’ll open my eyes
And see her sitting there.
My goals will be fulfilled
And I’ll live happily ever after.
