Stepping stones build a path
Across the ocean, against storms
Gray skies open as doves seek
A place to perch, rest and sleep
Winds cannot detour their flight
Even if these birds must learn to walk
Moving forward without a second thought
Wings or feet will guide the way
The fruits of this are to be seen
Yet shall they be sour or bittersweet
Always in flight seeking tomorrow
Tired wings bond and find a home
Once trust is given, it must be kept
For if it is lost never again will it return
These are the stones the pave the road
Upon muddled water, turned crystal pure
