Quip's Corner - Life to perfection is a ladder with slippery steps

Life to perfection is a ladder with slippery steps
I've been taught to know the way to go
But just haven't made it yet
I try to go slowly from rung to rung
I take tiny steps but then.......
I step on a spot that I've stepped on before
Slip, loose my grip, and fall to the bottom again

I question why, I saw that spot coming
I knew what I should do
If I'd just avoid it, I would be fine
And I know that I'd make it through

I continue to try to climb that long ladder
I know of the pitfalls and traps
If I can just get past those weal slippery spots
The ones that I find hinder me
I'll find that the top was well worth the climb
And then I truly will see

That those weak slippery steps that gave me such sorrow
That gave me the tears and regret
I've learned how to climb them, I see my mistakes
My weakness has turned into strength.
Ether 12:27
