STEPS!

Every move I make,

Is founded in a reassurance-

That I’m getting closer to my dreams.

Every step I take,

Is founded in these beliefs:

It may look bleak.

I may feel weak.

Sometimes I’ll stumble from my my small two feet.

But ways are being made,

Steps are being paved;

Do you see me?

I’m walking into a glorious new day!

The earth rumbles at my coming,

The sky trembles at my going;

The ocean opens as I rise-

The crisp blue air grins to meet my new found strides.

I’m on a higher path now.

No room for doubt;

No room for dismay.

My endurance has paid the way.

I’m going higher day by day.

You may not see my flare.

But if you catch me in the clouds,

Say hello to my hair.

Everyday is getting better,

Been feeling quite especial.

Long gone are the days of fear and regret!

My tears have dried up.

They’ve shriveled mid air,

And just my luck,

I caught you watching me in a meaningful stare.

My enemies can’t believe,

The resounding triumph of my feet.

Yet and still I remain meek.

My body moves freely.

No more creaks in my stairs.

My mind is laminated,

With only serenity and prayers.

Does my heart still yearn for what no longer serves her?

Yes.

But I digress to say,

The notion of following another,

Has gone completely away.

She stands on her own.

Shoulders back, toes forward;

But make no mistake,

She knows she got here by his grace!

Miss independent is her name.

Grace is her coordinating sponsor.

She takes steps everyday,

To defeat the enemy she refuses to ever say again.
