Accept the Challenge

My child, my child

As you take each step

I will be there

I’m up behind you

Pushing you up

As you take each step

Each deliberate step

I am behind you

To strengthen you

And to help you along the way

As you climb

My strength will be there for you

For I am showing you the way

I am right in the way in front of you

But I am behind you

To push, to assist, and to strengthen

As you set your focus on each step you are taking

Know that I have your back

Know that I am strengthening you

Know that as you are going

As you are making effort

Climbing that mountain

Stepping over rocks

Going around obstacles

Know that I am with you

Do not be dismayed at the difficult climb

For as you trust in me

That difficulty will be overcome

As you trust in me

Taking each step in difficulties of life

I will strengthen you to learn those difficulties will seem easy

Keep your eyes on me

Keep your determination

Keep your focus steadfast

I will walk

Keep your focus steadfast on each step as I direct you

I will be with you

And I will make it easier than it seems

So do not be dismayed

But look to the challenge

But look to the challenge

Accept the challenge for the road ahead

And I will be with you along the way
