Its not that My fingers weren’t long enough for piano or I wasn’t graceful enough for ballet or quick enough for cross country or stealthy enough for soccer When I really think about it, The going got tough, and I got going Leaving behind what I had worked on I would Abandon my temporary dream for something New
I still do.
But I do know That one day I'll find the thing that fulfills my deepest dreams I’ll have the confidence to power through, to chase after it like nothing before Because it wasn't the disturbing difficulties that destroyed my desire to continue Or frustration with frequent failure It was the most dangerous feeling of all Boredom
All good things come to an end But one day I'll find the thing that continually kicks me to go further And I'll chase it until the day I sit on my porch step Flipping through photo albums while sipping on ice tea and age old wisdom Telling my great granddaughters to chase whatever waterfalls they wish.
