Climbing the Stair

I awake and stretch my body,

Hop out of bed to greet the day.

There's so much to complete in it;

But, I know I'm on my way.

Please, God, fill me with energy

To help me get through each task.

Help me to do things the right way;

Hold me, firmly, in your grasp.

I've things to do, and I'm uncertain;

Many questions, I need answers to.

Help me to ask the right questions,

Please guide me, through and through.

Lead me to all the right people

To complete what needs to be done.

Help me to appreciate what they do,

Reminding me to thank each one.

You have given me direction

In the way I need to go.

I've felt your strength build behind me,

With each new friend I've come to know.

New people have entered my life,

More than a few are easy to recall.

Some helped me to become stronger;

Others offered a hand, should I fall.

I thank you for all your blessings

That you've bestowed on me.

May I, one day, help others

With my eyes, to help them see.

One can't have too many friends,

Of that I've become aware.

I've found quite a few of them,

With each step taken up life's stair.

Support me as I climb higher,

Please help me not to fall.

If I trip, a time or two, please embrace me -

Be there to help me through it all.
