I wake up when the morning comes, The sun is soft, the sky is bright. A new day waits in front of me, With hope, with dreams, with gentle light. I wash my face and start my day, I breathe the air, calm and slow. I tell myself, “I will try,” And take one step, steady and low. Life is not a race to win, It is a long and wide road. Sometimes I walk, sometimes I fall, Sometimes I stand with fear inside..
When I fall down, I feel the pain, My heart feels heavy, deep, and tight. But I remember, pain will pass, And dark night turns to morning light. I learn from every small mistake, Each lesson helps my mind to grow. I am not weak for trying hard, I am still learning, this I know. I see the birds fly in the sky, They do not fear the open air. They spread their wings and trust the wind, They fly with hope, without despair. The river flows without a break, It finds its way through stone and sand. It does not stop, it does not ask, It moves ahead, calm and grand..
So I remind my tired heart, To move ahead, to not delay. Even one small step is enough, If I take that step each day. I speak my words, simple and true, I make mistakes, but still I try. Each broken word becomes a bridge, That helps my courage rise high. One day, I will look back and smile, How far I have come to see. Not fast, not perfect, but still strong, Becoming who I’m meant to be. So if you feel lost or afraid, And doubt is loud inside your mind, Remember this, my gentle friend, Small steps each day are still kind..
