First Step

February 22, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is politics, in honor of Presidents Day, which is celebrated on February 20.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A political poem written for a non-profit organization in Nepal called First Step:

First step towards a better life,

One step at a time.

First step towards enough for all,

One step at a time.

First step to preserve the land,

One step at a time.

First step towards a world at peace,

One step at a time.

First step, first step,

One must take the first step.

First step, first step,

We will take the first step.

First step, first step,

Come take with us the first step.

First step towards a job for all,

One step at a time.

First step towards free time for all,

One step at a time.

First step towards free school for all,

One step at a time.

First step towards healthcare for all,

One step at a time.

First step, first step,

One must take the first step.

First step, first step,

We will take the first step.

First step, first step,

Come take with us the first step.
