Today

What is the outcome
What will it be

What will I hear or feel 
or see

Will it unfold with baby steps
or the gait of a giant in stride

We chart the tempo and the course
or tag along for the ride

To steer with direction is
the option I choose

With determination
the light not to lose

I say I'm here in every way
In presence and with daring

Living my life on purpose
With spirit and with caring

         Today

Beautifully worded and a courageous and hopeful glimpse into your life experience. Thank you. I almost feel as if I could sing it.
