I would smile
Say words to soothe
Grip hands to affirm
My trust, my faith,
To transmit energy
Convey how much I care.
I would unfurl
The golden pages and
Recall who I am.
My spirit strengthened
I would soar, strive
To realize, not analyze
Dreams that must be dreamt.
I would shut the cacophony around
And composed within
Write a symphony of
Harmonious notes.
I would believe that
“ the secret of life
Is to make stepping stones
Out of stumbling blocks.”
I would learn
That to be shaken
Is not to be broken
That my yesterday
Will again be tomorrow
As it must.
I would, wisdom dawned
Learn to remember:
My destiny is not
The slope of the valley
But, guided by the stars
Is to claw up the climb
In the stillness of night
To an applauding world.
