Poem - Steps


Hi everyone!


A friend in the chatroom wanted me to post this poem so she could read it. 


I wrote this poem for my two step sons before I got into the program.  I was listening to someone talking about working the steps the other evening in the chat room and remembered the title of the poem.  I think it kinda works for the steps of this program too.  Let me know what you think.


               STEPS


We are Steps, the Two of Us


Step-Father and Step-Son.


The Step does not diminish Us,


Nor weaken Our Chosen Bond.


 


A Step is but a Movement


to a place we Need to go.


And the Space in between,


the Here, and the There.


 


They start a special Music


echoing in the hallways of our Minds.


Accompanying graceful dancers


in a Ballet from the Soul.


 


And too, They are the Granite Stones


upon which We place our Seeking feet.


Raising Us Higher, ever Higher


as we Climb towards the Peak.


 


And They are also the Directions,


Keys to the Navigation of the Path


which takes us to the Sacred Place


to Listen upon the Mount.


 


A Cut upon the Face


where We rest to catch our Breath


To be In-Step, In Harmony,


as We gaze down upon all We Love.


 


So Step by Step We come, We Two


by His Love and by His Grace.


Without the Steps We would not see


the Glory in His Face.


 


He is our Step, the Two of Us


Step-Father to Us All.


A Special Love we share, We steps


A Favored Chosen Bond.


 


Thanks for reading,


David62
