High Hopes

I see my goal so high, so far.
It hovers there, just like a star.

How can I reach it I daily cry,
"I've set my sights too far, too high!"

A forward lunge, a backward slide,
Was something that I often tried.

It kept that goal, just like a star,
Up in the sky and just as far.

I tried to reach it with all my might,
Until the day I saw the light.

That day I took just one small step
Which took me closer than ever yet.

Now, step by step the path is clearer
And every day my goal is nearer.
