Guiding light
Gifted with my guiding light
All packaged up and bright
Initial reaction was amazed
Blown away but acted unfazed
Words couldn’t express how I felt
My insides instantly began to melt
Wasn’t clear then but apparent now
What this opened up for me to allow
Pieces put into place over time
Building up courage for my climb
Eventually the fork in the road came
When I vowed to stop doing things the same
Helping me to break the link in the chain
But couldn’t have taken that first step
Until I met someone who had already leapt
