I'Ve Never Been Here Before Either

I have been where you are. And to repeatedly return... To support your steps, With motivated encouragement... I don't object to doing! It's just that... My own steps need protecting too. With a giving to it my complete attention. And... No one appears there to clear my path. Or has offered to watch my back. In fact... No one has expressed concern at all, If I might have fears or not. Or how I feel after stumbling to crawl. To get back on my feet to walk. I am not rehearsing my journey. Or have been given time to practice. And like you... I've never been here before either. And with each step I take I know I am tested. And like you... I too have sacrificed to reach.
