ReWalk

I’m learning how to walk once again. Walk through this life one more time. I’m at the crawling stage, I’ve not yet gained my balance to stand and make steps. I’m a baby; all new at this.

I don’t watch my pace, I grab and stumble into things. At times it’s chaotic. I fall, run over people’s toes and even forget to say sorry. But nonetheless all I want is to move however much dangerous it seems.

I look at people and wonder, When will I ever get to walk like so and so? When will I ever achieve my balance?

Where will my feet take me?

And as I continue to question myself, Life keeps on hitting me with different challenges. I have to check my appearance, check my mood, monitor my tone… This new world that I want to walk into, requires a different me.

Sadly, it’s not a competition. Each and every one of us has his/her own path. We have also been brought up in different environments, we have different abilities and perceptions. We are all unique. 

And so as I learn walk again, I ask for some kindness and understanding. Apologies for all that I’ll step on their feet or ruin their manicured lawns. Give a helping hand if possible so as to make my learning easier. 

I cannot stand but in my mind, I stand tall,

I cannot feel my legs yet I have legs,

I cannot walk, yet I’m moving forward,

I cannot jump, yet I can see the future,

I cannot run, yet I’m moving fast,

I cannot step, yet I’m taking strides,

I cannot achieve balance, yet I have a spine.

I appreciate every minute and second I have on this earth. I surely don’t deserve it but God Has been Gracious.

As the year comes to an end, look back, trace your path and see if it befits you.

I thank God for family and friends. Because of them, I stand, I feel, I’m walking, jumping, running and I’ve got a steady balance. I feel like I’m all grown up because of them.

I’m grateful and forever indebted. 

God Bless you.🙏🏽
