With so much
overdue to get out,
my tongue wants
to precede me, but

today Lord I toed the line
and with Your help
I did not smudge it.

The race is ongoing
but for now
I must trust and learn
that my progress is
to stand silent.

My ground is now
my support instead of
my tripping.

this is for Patricia, I know for some it might not seem much of a victory but for me and the fight I fight inside, it is a mighty blessing, thank you Patricia for your thoughts, blessings are there...period....our perception is our loss or gain...thank you again

~ That is a powerful image that I shan't forget! Thank you Dear Beans of Jelly!

P.S. From the title I had thought it was going to be a poem about Toe!--Instead, it turned out to be a poem FOR him! lol

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
    Has held me in the same embrace~
