steps

often in the passage
of time i do not
notice how far i
have come.

so caught up in where
i am going i do not
stop to celebrate the
victories accomplished.

i want to slow down.

i want to celebrate
life each day, see
where i have been
and where I am as well
as where I am going.

i want to enjoy each step.

now is the time to begin
with this celebration of
the gift given to me…
this life.
