Mary Scott Poet Rhyme

Redirect

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
