The First Step

The journey to love begins with a single step of faith.

Looking across the room

she sees her destination

those arms reaching out

beckoning to her.

Her heart beats faster

as she attempts to stand

her knees wobbling

her eyes getting blurry.

She looks down at her feet

wondering if they are stuck

for she cannot get them

to take this first step.

She takes a deep breath

and says, “I think I can”

picks up her foot

and places it forward.

After so much concentration

and committment

she has finally done it

she has taken her first step

towards Love.

Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 1 John 4:8
