"One, Two, Three"

One step forward...

Another moment

This begins the first few steps of the next adventure

Hope given

A chance taken

Courage in choice

Promise in action

And brave in spirit

Possibilities may be endless

Second step...

Connections made

Conversation continues

Building blocks of a foundation

Firm roots planted in friendship

Now budding

Even and steady

There is good space to grow

We create the path we are upon

This marks the beginning

Where two strangers meet

And say hello...

Step three...

Let it all begin.

"Length Of A Moment"

Close the door

Shut the world away

Lock up all loose emotions

Hide within the light

For darkness lurks at every corner

Tears struggle

Holding tightly to their roots

They dare not fall

For if they begin to march their line

They will not cease till the battle is done

Hijacked is the life you once knew

No precedent has been set for this

You are feeling everything as it happens

Fresh...

Raw...

Bitter...

All movement forward is completely out of your hands

Fear embraces the unknown

Clinging to the broken pieces of life

Now hanging in the balance

Choices of right or wrong

Black or white...

Questions asked have no answer

Nothing can be found within this much uncertainty

You clutch onto everything that you use to know

Holding baited breath

Among the seconds ticking by

All the while waiting...

Hoping...

Praying...

Now bleeding into days passed

Life is shades of gray

Hour to hour we count

Trying to forget the last

Embraced by the realization

That we are here, struggling to make sense of it all

As you come to know the true length of time within a moment.

"Worth In Effort"

Sometimes...

Good intentions do not translate well into action

Sometimes...

Its not about where you are

But who you are with

The most important is

That you are here with me

Equal

All upon the same page

Facing the world together

Not standing together alone

There is strength in numbers

We all know to well

Divided we fall

No one ever said it was easy

Though in some moments

You do not realize that it would be this hard

Then again...

If we weren't so afraid to let go

Then we wouldn't feel so free when we finally did

I pray for your found strength

That you are brave enough to realize

Hands are for holding

Giving hope

Arms are for action

And a tender embrace

We are more alike than we are different

With all of the thoughts in the world

I to share your journey

Keeping here in this place

Happiness is always worth the effort

Now I plead for you to have the strength

As I wait...

For what is to come

I realize the true length within a moment.
