My First Step

There is a path I’m drawn to

   It beckons me, and yet,

I seem to shyly turn away

   When I begin to fret.

The path has tears and joys, I know,

   A place to go and roam

To bring to life my fears and dreams

   And places I call home.

I need to turn and face the path

   And listen to the song

That draws me closer to my dream

   The place where I belong.

So, today, I will begin anew,

   The thing I need to do

To bring me to the place I’ll be

   One with you and one with me.

 May this be the beginning

   Of a relationship with you

That brings us joy and meaning

  And purpose in all we do.                

Together, as we walk along

  May love be in our hearts,    

As we begin to sing a song

   And take a fresh, new start.

This path begins with just one step.

   I’m ready now, and so

I’ll take that step, with a breath of faith.

   I’m ready now, let’s go!
