Step-by Step

by Cheryl Merrick

I have been lead 

to learn the lessons
     I’ve needed to know

to overcome weaknesses
     and become whole

to develop strengths
     I didn’t know


to share talents
     and nurture others

to create confidence
     in my abilities

to form close relationships
     with husband, family, & friends

to have joy in this life
     and hope for the future

Slowly and carefully
     I have been lead– 
     step-by-step.

Each step building my trust
in my Eternal Father and Savior
     and Their love for me.
