I Am... Born Again

Truly a one-of-a-kind.

A mindset all my own,

Dancing to my own rhythm,

Taking it step by step.

My strength is ever-growing,

Allowing me to smile at my worst

And love at my best.

My anchor has kept my feet on the ground

But I keep my eyes locked on the stars.

My arms reach up to gather them all.

Just a little bit more

And finally I’m there.

I can feel it on my fingers,

My goals are just within reach.

I’ve turned the final corner

And the finish line is what I seek.

I’ve kept my chin up high

Remembering where I began.

I know I still have a ways to go

But when I look back

All I see are the obstacles I’ve defeated.

Goals are not accomplished in a day,

A day of work is not one wasted.

A night of dreaming is not one sleepless.

The page turns once again and a new chapter begins,

And while I feel the slightest tinge of fear,

My curiosity is at its peak.

Instinct takes over and I am ready for my journey to begin.

So as I take this new step

And I begin my own life,

I only ask this;

Please be patient and remember this is new.

I’m a newborn once again.

I face the realities of world in its entirety.

Step by step,

Minute by minute time passes,

And here I am,

Taking my first steps,

Taking in each and every breath.

Here, I step into this world.

Here,

Here is where the changes begin.
