Day 165: One Step at a Time

I have a lot of friends who are moving into new directions this summer. Some have had moved into different jobs, some into different countries and many are just starting new from scratch. Whatever be the case I hear the anxious phone calls and texts as I calm myself down among the chaos that surrounds life sometimes. I guess we are all attached to this sense of wonder that makes us nervous. We are brave when we least expect and among those least expected sometimes, because we need to it. So here is to those who are starting their new jobs today, who are applying for new ones, who are moving on between courses to new semesters, who are taking a stance and taking a break sometimes. Some are moving away to new countries to complete their work and some are exploring because they can't seem to satisfy their sense of wonder. In whatever be that case I hope you keep moving forward, one step at a time, breath easy and be amazed as often as you can.

One Step at a Time
There is a secret to solving some problems some days
If you let me I will tell them to you anyways
Or would I write in puzzles, hide then in writing somehow
Just take a step, one step at a time for now

Breath easy among the things that worry you sometimes
There are broken pieces everywhere, not all is yours & neither mine
There are things that will put you down some days
But look at what you have achieved, that has clearly come your way

I wonder if the wind makes up it's mind where it may flow
Or does it just flow everyday not knowing where it needs to go
I am not concerned with plans, they don't always make sense
So I push myself to the best I can, as do you in the end

Take a step further away from this, make the changes you want to make
Don't be nervous about starting from scratch, be new, be amazed
When I sit down to write a new poetry, everyday I look for a new rhyme
And I hope you finding your footing, & as you move on just one step at a time.
