A fine line
by Shelly Christensen / ga09302007
 

It is a tricky balance

Walking that fine line

Between whom I’m becoming

And the me that’s left behind

I always knew I could depend

On one to catch my fall

When I misused my judgment

Or didn’t think at all

But now it seems I’m taking steps

Toward standing on my own

And frankly it is scary

Even though I know I’ve grown

I know that I can do it

Heavenly Father knows it too

I even feel good at it

When I accomplish something new

Still I trip, mess up and fall

Or sometimes I just stumble,

These new things are not easy

“I’m not perfect!” (That’s called humble)

Time they say is what I need

To get things in that balance

How long I wonder will it take

Each step is such a challenge

I am a work in progress

An art work an endeavor

And one thing is for certain

My timeline is forever.
