Moving My Heart Forward

I've always been stuck in reverse
Good could not outweigh the worse
Each step ahead turned into
A day filled with more than two
Backwards steps I couldn't win 
I was in a tailspin
The despair I felt just grew
Till the day my heart met you
I move slowly and cautiously
Till I had the faith to see
I would not stumble or fall
Your love answered my sad call
To catch me with each new step
Now there is a stronger pep
In my stride each time I take
One heel off the ground and make
My feet move forward with no
Going backwards I will show
My fate and destiny how it can
Trust in sweet love once again
