Learning to Walk

It was gradual
A day here
A few minutes there
A week passed
She worked and
Could feel the power growing
Perhaps that was all she needed.
A strengthening
That became its own thing.
Pushing light
Through the muddy waters
So much hope
So much doubt.
I have disappointed.
I have been weak.
I have been impatient.
My time has passed.
She put her feet on the soft cool ground.
Her body took over
Without faltering
Not a grunt of weariness.
No, my body can do this
In the light she found
She walked.
