"A Step Ahead"

"A Step Ahead"

The places you've been

are on the road I'm walking.

You've done the things,

I need to do.

You've passed the test

I'm preparing for.

You're a step ahead...

You've reached the goals

I'm beginning to set.

You've succeeded with challenges

I have yet to face.

You've answered the questions

I'm beginning to ask.

You're a step ahead...

The stories you tell

are ones I have yet to live.

You've experienced things

I someday will.

You've even made mistakes,

and now keep me from doing the same.

You're a step ahead...

The example you set

shows me how to live.

The advice you give

guides me through the day.

The words you share

put things in perspective.

You're a step ahead...

I'm thankful for where you're at -

You prepare me

for the future.

You teach me

how to be a parent.

You point me

to our Father.

I pray you'll always be

A Step Ahead!

The other day I wrote about being a true role model - one who not only sets an example, but shares their faith as well. Those thoughts led to ones about the steps I am following, I'm grateful for the Godly Titus 2 women who are showing me the way. My prayer is all of us will take that influence and pass it to the next generation.
