I posted this on another forum this morning, but wanted to bring it here to share with all of you because it reminds me that I didn't arrive where I am today by walking alone.
I am so grateful for every one of you who are walking beside me, sharing your light. Together we can do what we could never do alone, and we are no longer alone.
Love you all, and happy to be walking with such wonderful people.
Keep Walking...
Barbara Aldrich
Here we stand together,
Dressed in our pain,
Covered with scars
From wounds we did not ask for
Or deserve.
So what now?
We can't go back and relive our lives.
We can't take back the innocence we lost
Or make the sadness we felt into happiness.
But we can go on from here,
So let us start.
Stretch out your hand to mine,
Close your eyes
And slowly let the pain slip away.
Let go of the sadness;
It belongs to yesterday,
And let's walk.
The earth is firm beneath our feet.
The sun is warm on our face.
Heavenly Father sees our struggle,
Smiles at our effort,
And sends us strength.
My friends, we can't stay, looking back,
Lest we falter.
We must face forward,
Eyes wide open,
And keep on walking.
Hold tight and don't let go;
You aren't walking alone,
And neither am I.
