Baby Steps

That was a dark moment last night
But I think we need to face those
And walk though them
In order to come back out
Into the light
I'm still questioning
The entire last fifteen months
But I think perhaps
There is a difference
Between not walking forward at all
Hiding, crawling back inside
And walking with purpose
Moving forward with caution
Making thoughtful, deliberate choices
And building something
That you know awaits
On the right path
With time to live, love, laugh
And lend a hand
OK, my heart hurts
This hasn't turned out as I'd hoped
Not so far
But I'm not giving up
I'm just going to be a little more cautious
Baby steps
They are still steps
After all
