It's just one step at a time

I took the first step...
It was not a very big one,
Just a small step because my heart told me 'it won't hurt to try'.

I was nervous at first
Apprehensive and scared.

I took the first step...
My fears did not materialise,
Wow, I actually felt nice, lighter, happy.
I realised that there was nothing to be afraid of, nothing gobbled me up.

My confidence increased, my strength grew,
I felt better than I had in a long time.

And so I took the next step...
The apprehension and fear was less,
I was riding on the high from my first step.

And so I carried on, one step at a time
Growing in strength and courage, leaving the fear behind.

I soon realised that I had taken several steps,
And then I looked back
I could not see the person who was scared to take that first step
For the person I had become had taken charge of my life and destiny.

Looking ahead there are many more steps to take,
I take each step knowing that it can only get better.

In Love and Light
