A single step
Taken slowly
Making you feel every bruise
That life has inflicted
Exhaustion is your world
Yet you wish to carry on
To make progress
And collapse with pride
A burst of energy
Born from such a tiny feat
That requires every ounce of strength
It is the only thing you need
To retain both faith and hope
That
Single
Little
Minuscule
Inch-sized
Essential
Step

About Charles Yallowitz
Charles E. Yallowitz was born, raised, and educated in New York. Then he spent a few years in Florida, realized his fear of alligators, and moved back to the Empire State. When he isn't working hard on his epic fantasy stories, Charles can be found cooking or going on whatever adventure his son has planned for the day. 'Legends of Windemere' is his first series, but it certainly won't be his last.
That is all we need each day. Good one, Charles.

This was beautiful! I needed that! Sometimes it seems like I haven’t made much progress. But as you said so eloquently:
It is the only thing you need
To retain both faith and hope

Thanks. Faith and hope are hard to maintain these days. Now, I just need to live by my own poem. Kind of wrote it during a more optimistic week.
