Baby Steps

God has placed me in a special place in her life
I am to be of service to her and help, not hurt her
What might I get in return you ask? Intangibles I reply
The joy of watching her grow ever so slightly one day at a time

It is my hope and hopefully God's will that she continue on this path
Taking baby steps along the way each day every day one more time
Building the spiritual muscles and strength that she needs to be free
Striving to be relieved of the bondage of self and finding new happiness

I saw her last night and she was different, she is changing
Hope in her eyes, a calmness in her soul, strength in her voice
God is working the miracle ever so slowly, ever so quietly
She is being made whole right in front of my eyes, I am blessed

I believe she is getting it, she is catching on, she is recovering
How great Gods' work is as I witness His power in action
Yet fragile in her search, she is aware of the changes in her life
Grace surrounds her as a warm cloak against the bitter cold wind of despair

She carries herself with a new confidence and in a new Light
The Sunlight of the Spirit has her awash in Its glow
Gods' gifts are amazing in my eyes each time I see this
I am truly blessed because I have seen it many times before

It is still early, she still may face the danger of her disease
It is in remission, silently sleeping for now as she trudges onward
It may come back with a vengeance and disrupt her again
It is why one day at a time is the way for folks like us

Oh Nance I can't fix you, God certainly is
