Stepping Stones

To say goodbye to your past

and walk boldly into your future.

Stepping stones to guide your way,

help you along.

You learn who is true, as well as

who is not.

Your heart breaks, more than once,

never to be the same again.

Stepping stones, things that we are to learn from,

experiences, knowledge, pain and heartache.

Losing pieces of your mind, leaving them

as a trail of crumbs for others to find.

Where do they lead, this trail?

What will they find?

What will you find as you follow

the stepping stones of life?
