Sometimes our best intentions miss the impossible target-perfection Sometimes our best efforts leave us hopeless and contemplating defection Sometimes our goal of being everything to everybody misses the target so that we feel we give very little to anybody Oftentimes we must stop to refuel our bodies and our minds so that when we are engaged in lifting up we do not leave ourselves behind Sometimes our best intentions must be reexamined through the lens of gratitude Sometimes our best efforts must be weighed on the scales of self-affirming latitude Sometimes we must pause to just give ourselves and others grace so that we empower our vision to redefine the target for this race
