Step Confidently

The brambles should have deterred me

But the sunshine weaving through

beckoned me on

What lie ahead?

I couldn’t know

But forward was the only option

Where I stood

Was filled with indecision

The steps

behind

Had been mixed with

Sorrow

Happiness

Joy

Discovery

Pain

And Wonder

All the myriad feelings of living

that had shaped me

Hurt me

Strengthened me

Taught me

All I know at this moment

But

What I dream for tomorrow

Is Endless

That's a thoughtful metaphor, with a realistic view of the mix of life experiences and learning. I suppose I would add to know the Lord going with me each step and through the brambles! (The picture reminded me of coastal semi-blocked paths!) Rhiannon

Thank you Rhiannon for your lovely and thoughtful comments, I am so glad you found it a thoughtful metaphor. The picture was taken at a coastal area in California. Rough land that leads to soft grass, sandy shore and a beautiful ocean.smiley
