Ever closer day by day inching forward come what may
unsure of tomorrow yet sure in the knowing something is growing
trusting the process faith is believing without seeing into being
walking the path uncertain of the length relying always on your strength
each day that passes brings closer the dreams not as easily as it seems
all the hard work the endless days now weeks then years wiping away sweat and tears
never knowing when the payoff will come giving more and then some
onward ever onward closer with each passing second the end continues to beckon
reaching out for possibilities unknown as sunrise reaches for the dawn
closer ever closer drawing near letting go of all I fear
