Reflecting back.. Through all the years... Times good, not so good, memories... Mistakes, choices, right or wrong.. One small step....Felt so large Standing at the edge of the abyss, the precipice... Courage, a voice calls to me.... Courage.... Shall I step beyond the light, into the dream The dream of tomorrow, wanting it to be... To be today.... Though my step is shaken, my walk wandering, My soul ever pondering...my heart wondering.. I shall go with courage, yet with a little fear... And as I step, hold my hand.... Tell me you are there.. There beside me... That I might breath, not hold my breath... And....that I might learn each step, each day...of my journey.... As you hold my hand... Whispering to me.... It’s OK....I am here... I always have been... I always will... |

Though my step is shaken, my walk wandering, My soul ever pondering...my heart wondering.. I shall go with courage, yet with a little fear... Oh, dear Magnus, I can honestly relate to the words in this awesome write. Well done sir!! Chris  Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Chris, I know...and I understand....and... again....I know...and I understand...far better than most may ever realize... Fears of the mind are ever powerful....and the hand of a friend can certainly help one take that step, however small....one step, one day at a time...HUH? Hugs to ya... B. |

Awesome!---truly! Couldn't have written it better myself---and I've tried! Ha! Ha! This is my favourite verse (It bears repeating!): Though my step is shaking, my walk wandering, My soul ever pondering...my heart wondering... I shall go with courage, yet with little fear.. Linda |

 (big hugggsssss) Oh Barry, I know this feeling ever so well, when someone feels glum and all he or she needs is a shoulder to cry over to be reassured everything will be alright! (sigh) Your poems always touch my heart deeply, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
