Epiphany

What do you fear? Fear Doesn’t Stop Us

A Step Toward Home

I will not tell you to buck up,

to tough it out, to ignore the fear

rattling around in your chest.

I will not tell you that all shall be well

or that morning will come quickly.

I will not ask you to march into danger

without first repeating your name in my prayers.

But if fear stops you in your tracks,

if fear makes it hard to breathe,

hard to move,

hard to think,

then I will remind you

that even one step with shaking knees

is a step toward home.
