For so long I was scared
to even shift my feet,
Walking down that road
had me so terrified,
Yet that fear has vanished
and now I take my first steps.
Love I once thought gone
and totally destroyed in me,
Has bloomed and grown
with every word you said,
Giving me the courage
to walk these first steps.
Each day doesn't really begin
until I hear from you,
Then joy and energy abound
refreshing my heart and soul,
Moving me to do things
improving these first steps.
The days are growing easier
than I ever expected them to,
With the joy and smile
that you bring into my life,
Encouraging me to move on
and take more than just first steps.
