The Steps to Paradise

We find under our tiring feet
The end of this endless fleet
Of stoney steps to serenity.
But a blink in the eye of eternity
Yet a journey that has taken a year.
We now leave yesterday hitherhere.
Hoping of promised health
Dreaming of tomorrow's wealth.
Just a few more strides to stride
'Til we reach the otherside.
'Hind the yonder climax
We can breathe and relax.
Before climbing the stairway
To a sunlit day.
