Starting Slow

So many days
When it’s cold outside
The sun has left
Found a place to hide
It starts to rain
Next the sleet and snow
Looking inside
For a pace to know
I’m starting off slow
And building speed
It may not be much
But at least it’s me
Making some plans
Most will fail
Every once in a while
Find a new trail
Where it leads
Mostly someplace dark
You gotta believe
You’ll find a spark
I’m starting off slow
And building speed
It may not be much
But at least it’s me
The years go by
Some good and bad
The highs fly out
The lows are sad
Another new day
Doing what you need to do
Maybe work or play
From old to new
I’m starting off slow
And building speed
It may not be much
But at least it’s me
