Digging a hole
As I’ve always done.
But sweat, tears, and blood,
Corroded an abyss of mud.
If you want a hold dug,
Grab a shovel.
If you’ve dug too far,
Grab a pen.
I’ll be fine. And even if I’m not, there are sharp metal sticks of fun, that will make me fine.

My great grandmother, one I never met, used to say “If you want a hole dug, grab a shovel!“ which means if you have a dream, work towards it.
