Goal Accomplished

I set a small goal today

One that could be accomplished

However when I set out on my journey

The goal became monstrous

I thought isn't this the likelihood

The Universe keeping me in check

Making sure my convictions are something I respect

 

I set a small goal this morning

With a smile upon my face

Even as the day went on

My the smile was fixed in place

 

Even as my quest was tested

My joy wavered not

The smile would creep back on my face

Almost frozen in its spot

 

This smile produced aloofness from sneer

Sharp curves twisting from ear to ear

Facial lines that could not be faked

Not even I could predict this much elation

This morning when I arose to wake

I set a small goal today

The goal was accomplished
