One Step at a Time

My Dear Rishi,

Last weekend I enjoyed talking to you for an hour and fifteen minutes. I could not write this letter as I was involved with organizing an event on Sunday. The organization I volunteer for is called O.N.E: Only Now Exists. We were involved in organizing yogathon. You can check out our website www.onlynowexists.org We were raising funds to build a school in Nigeria for kids.

Now continuing with the theme for this letter, today's poem is called "One Step at a Time". By Adrian Rogers. Rishi, this poem has sustained me over the years especially when going gets tough. I just close my eyes try to recite this poem in my heart, feel the meaning of each word and finally it helps me to see the day through.

One Step at a Time

By Adrian Rogers

One step at a time, is the best way to go

When going through life and

travelling in the direction of your dreams, 

the best way  to get ahead is the simplest way.

Take it one step at a time.

Don't look over your shoulder, if you do,

you'll feel the weight of all your yesterdays upon you.

And don't worry about what lies ahead

By the time you get to the bend in the road,

Or the crest of the hill, you're going to be better and stronger

than you ever were before.

Just go one step at a time, one day at a time

And you'll find a rich thankful life you never thought you could afford.

Rishi, in life's trials and tribulations, sometimes poems like act as a balm to our souls. Hence poetry is also called the language of soul.

With lots of love, hugs and kisses,

Daddy.
