Stepping Stones

.

Throughout our lives we will have to be

Careful in which direction we turn

For each way is filled with stepping stones

Carefully we place one foot in front of the other

Hopefully we won’t fall and keep our destiny clear

Sometimes these steps will be slippery

And we might find ourselves wobbly and unsure

Of what waits ahead for their might be hazards

Just around the bend…things that might lie in fog

And we won’t be able to readily see

.

Faith steps in and takes us by the hand

Making us stand up straight and tall

Ready to take on whatever is waiting there

Creeping into the shadows in our minds

The places that we are afraid to enter by ourselves

Where we need help to be strong

Letting us know that we truly belong

Filling our hearts with love…and peace

All we have to do is reach out and accept

This special gift…given to us for free
