one by one

please let me kneel
to find and collect strewn pieces
of myself

one piece at a time

please let me feel
again the sure way I once was
of myself

one step at a time

……………………………………………….…………………….

I can choose to count the endless ways
Of troubles I may face
Or
I can choose to brace myself and pray
So I’ll stand here come what may
