EVEN THOUGH TIMES ARE DIFFICULT,
WE ARE STILL INVOLVED IN THE THINGS WE DO
IT MAY BE EASY TO FIND EXCUSES
FOR LOSING OUR WAY OR GIVING UP
WHAT GOOD ARE THEY AS WE TAKE A CLOSER LOOK
WHO WOULD FAULT US IF WE DRIFT OR STRAY
WOULD ANYONE NOTICE IF WE SHOW DISCONTENT
SHOULD WE VACATE TO AVOID THE RENT
WHAT WOULD THE CONSEQUENCE BE OR
THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AS IF IN A DREAM
OH THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND AND THEY KNOW IT IS TOUGH
COMPASSION FOR YOU IN SPITE OF YOUR FLUFF
NO, MY FRIEND, THIS IS NOT THE WAY.
THERE ARE ENOUGH GAMES THAT HAVE TO BE PLAYED
WHEN YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU HAVE A CLUE
YOU DON’T GET AWAY WITH THOSE THINGS YOU DO
EVEN THOUGH THE BURDENS ARE DIFFICULT TO ENDURE
WE ARE STILL INVOLVED IN THE THINGS WE DO
THE OUTCOMES WE SEEK ARE STILL INTACT AND
PATHWAYS ARE LONGER AND HILLS ARE STEEP
WE START EARLIER, WORK LONGER AND
LATER PREPARE FOR THE NEXT EVENT
WE ARE THE LIGHT AS WE REMAIN
A CUT ABOVE FOR ALL TO SEE
AND FOR THEM TO FOLLOW SUIT AND
INCORPORATE INTO THEIR PHILOSOPHY
THIS GUIDANCE MAY SEEM SIMPLE,
BUT SO IS A SIGN TO MARK A TRAIL
THE SUCCESS IS IN THE SHOWING UP
THE REWARD IS IN THE DOING
AND THE KNOWING THAT WITHIN US IS THE HERO
OFTEN MASKED AS ENLIGHTENMENT
