Steemitpoetrycontest #9 "The Climb"

I wrote this for my husband one year for Valentines day. I struggle with depression and anxiety, and hes always there for me, no matter what.

I lived my life standing on a precipice,
Toes pointed toward a shadowed pit,
Heels to higher ground,
It is here that you found me leaning over the pit,
Close to placing one foot over the edge,
then another,
It was your voice that made me step back and turn,
For the first time to see the mountain behind me,
Together we climbed and together we will continue to climb,
I may slip and lose my balance,
But you will always be there,
Reaching out your hand to say,
"Sweetie, its not much further".
