Baby Steps

I have commenced a journey
a journey of learning
i fear the first steps i am taking
regardless of the progress I'm making
i still need guidance
as this is my only chance
i walk and stagger off the path
i take aim and miss the mark
i feel like things are moving,
then i get stuck
well,just my luck the Lord blesses
i have to do my part
a step at a time
with faith even the highest mountain i can climb
my stride is now longer,
my legs now stronger
finally, i feel the world is mine
