Gentle Steps

Gentle steps,
new,
unexpected,
amazing,
exciting.
Gentle steps,
halting,
careful,
slowly, scary,
Dr.says, "Go."
Gentle steps,
therapeutic,
scary,
restorative,
celebratory,
strengthening.
Gentle steps,
ahead of schedule,
unpredictable progress,
protective environments,
process continues.
Gentle steps,
Gift of the Giver,
Grace of Creator,
Fearfully thankful,
uncovering meaning.
Gentle steps,
all of us taking,
never quite knowing,
living and learning,
tears and laughing.
Gentle steps,
thankful at starting,
not quite returning,
upright and moving,
watching and waiting,
Gentle steps.
Gentle steps.
Gentle steps.
Gentle steps.
