Walk On Water Poem by Mark Heathcote

Your fears and failures are just stepping stones
over not-so tranquil waters.
These are where you have frozen fearing your next step.
Turn around and see the shoreline you have already left
and look how far behind you it now is.
It is a distant memory in the twilight of yesterday
and what leaps and bounds you have made.
Yes, mistakes were plentiful but you
overcame every obstacle to be where you are today
and tomorrow you'll feel for a moment
you can walk on water and everything
is within your grasp and that anything is possible.
You'll see the only hand-up you ever needed to clasp
was already inside of you. It has guided you
not in order it may abandon you. But in order always to catch you
whatever you do. There is ballast in your heart and soul
that'll carry you above almost anything and all you need to do
is put one foot in front of another and believe you are blest.
