LADDER

I’m on the other side of that grass 

and it’s totally greener 

and this side is cleaner 

than it was before 

I was wanting and hoping 

and seeking and searching 

but I never knew 

I could get so much more

I thought in my thinking 

I would find my own way 

I thought that in seeking 

I would find a new day 

but I couldn’t have known 

that she’d be here to stay 

if I just opened my eyes 

and let the road lead the way

How beautiful that something 

can be so flawlessly perfect

How beautiful that something 

can be so easily worth it

How beautiful that words 

can be all that matter

They just lead to the top

Like the rungs on a ladder
