It's true that sometimes life is full of trying circumstances, And sometimes we must struggle For just minimal advances.
Despite events that slow us down And magnify our worries, We must learn that progress is A word that seldom hurries.
To try to grasp the total picture Is a strong temptation. Often we attempt too much And add to our frustration.
Laying out before us All the things that must be done May be harder than to focus On a single one.
Don't approach so many tasks That all your hopes are gone. A single step will lead you to Another later on.

Angel,
Love the poem ~ and so true ~ reminds me of one of my favorite says that the "journey of 1,000 miles begins with but a single step" just as long as you keep putting one foot in front of the other ~ lo and behold you are there before you know it.
TAKE IT ONE STEP AT A TIME
It's true that sometimes life is full
of trying circumstances,
And sometimes we must struggle
For just minimal advances.
Despite events that slow us down
And magnify our worries,
We must learn that progress is
A word that seldom hurries.
To try to grasp the total picture
Is a strong temptation.
Often we attempt too much
And add to our frustration.
Laying out before us
All the things that must be done
May be harder than to focus
On a single one.
Don't approach so many tasks
That all your hopes are gone.
A single step will lead you to
Another later on.
