Patience and Perfection
There's been a million little starts
along the path of life's journey
but only a handful of completions.
At least half a dozen books unwritten
just seeds sprinkled on rich soil
but sprouting is the business of others.
I plant, occasionally water,
then in the silent hours before Dawn
I move on. I guess I've always been that way.
Just a tiny drop in the ocean.
Life taught me to lay low
many, many, many years ago
guard my happiness - a rare and precious sign,
rejoice always in the goodness of God
tie me, tether me, eternally unbind,
and I don't mind...
No, no, no -
I don't mind.
Patience and perfection
were never my forte'.
