Start

The pathway to a mountain peak
Goes through a valley, 'cross a creek.
And ev'ry climber first steps take,
Before they can a summit make.

A boat that crosses o'er the sea,
Does first the harbor have to flee.
Its sails unfurl, its anchor raise
Before upon a new coast gaze.

A painter first her paint does mix.
A drummer must pick up his sticks.
A chef must take in hand a knife,
And so it seems to be in life;

If you aspire to something more,
you have to first walk through the door.
Success, it's true, can be an art.
The secret though, is just to start.
