One Step
A hill is not too hard to climb,
When taken one step at a time.
One step is not too much to take;
One try is not too much to make.
One step, one try, one song, one smile
Will shortly stretch into a mile.
And everything worthwhile is done
By small steps taken one by one.
To reach the goal you've started for,
Just take one step, then one step more.
