Baby steps
One at a time
Come to me
As if in a line

Sometimes I pay attention
Sometimes I don't
When I do, I win
When I don't, I don't

When I pay attention
My life feels full
I like who I am
I have that extra pull

I want to become more
No longer feel low
I become more aware
Of how far I can go

Being right doesn't serve me
Being open always does
To renewing my faith
In the end it's about love

It's not that I'm not good
I am learning I am
It's the insights that shift
Becoming more of I AM

It's funny - not really
How we just plugged along
One foot in front of the other
With the thought we are alone

When I pay attention
The journey's worthwhile
I have something to offer
That brings from within, a smile

To continue to pay attention
For the gifts that I receive
For when I ask for guidance
How quickly I perceive

The clarity comes swiftly
Most of the time
It's when I pay attention
I make the change mine

It's easy when we ask
For the help we so desire
It's in the letting go
Of having to stay in the fire

The fire can be Light
Versus the burning of my soul
It can heal me and show me
To consider a new goal

A goal to stay present
A goal to be love
A goal to forgive
And all of the above

Baby steps
One at a time
Come to me
As if in a line
