Brave Beginnings

Where is my balance for this new tightrope?
I've stepped away from childhood to walk without a net -
teetering on tiptoe, determined to cross above the ordinary world
to my own.

Where is my balance for this high-wire act?
I'm caught in the middle taking one step at a time -
risking my soul, determined not to fall,
as my audience waits breathless.

Where is my balance for this aerial ballet?
I stretch out my hands -
holding faith tight, trusting God will guide me,
determined to leap onto the platform courage made.
