Christine Costello Poet Free verse

I Am Cautiously Optimistic

I Am cautiously optimistic
I Wonder what I will do for the rest of my life
I Hear violins when I dance barefoot under the moon
I See Jonathan Livingston circling rainbows in the sky
I Want to be brilliant in a big comfy chair by the fire

I Am cautiously optimistic
I Pretend I’m an expert gardener as I clumsily till the earth
I Feel the cool breeze as it rustles through the pines
I Hold the sun in my hand and shed light on the darkness of the world
I Worry that my family will not know the depth of my appreciation
I Cry out loud

I Am cautiously optimistic
I Understand my integrity is measured by my actions
I Say don’t believe everything you think
I Dream that all my dreams will manifest in time
I Try to master the simplest things before I tackle the hardest
I Hope to make a difference in MY life today
I Am cautiously optimistic
