One Step, Then Another

Woke up to sun on the kitchen floor Toast in the air shoes near the door Nothing big no grand parade Just peace in the plans I never made The train hums low the trees sway slow I breathe in time let the hurry go Your voice isn't loud it's just there In socks that match and brushed back hair I used to chase the fireworks But now I walk where flowers work One step then another That's how grace begins Not in leaps not in thunder But in ordinary things One laugh then a sigh One blue patch in the sky You walk with me like morning dew And that's enough to make all things new My planner's full but so is the sky And You find me where the laundry dries Faith's not fast and hope's not loud But You bloom slow in every crowd So I'll stop to feel the breeze Choose the long road lined with trees Not to prove or to impress But to learn the joy of slowness One step then another A rhythm heaven wrote I don't need to run forever Just learn to float this boat One smile one bread One sunset burning red You walk with me not far not fast But with a love that always lasts And so I walk One step then another Always slow Always together
