The First Step

To take the first step

Is a frightening thing.

To face the unknown

The uncertainty brings.

But like a child

Who is tired of crawling,

The first step sure is

The most important of all.



It expands your horizons,

You can see a new light.

The joy of discovery

Is like taking flight.

The first step you take

Will open all doors,

To see yourself as

You've Never seen yOu before.



And, like a child

Who gives it his all,

Sometimes he falters,

He will teeter and fAll.

But strong arms are there

To catch him and then,

They stand him back up

To start walking again.



The longest journey,

Takes one step at a time,

But once you get going

You'll do just fine.

Take my hand, friend

I'll help you along

I'll be right beside you...
