Stairway of Goals
As I start my trek into the woods,
I note the natural stairway leading
To a summit. With each step I take, my son prods
Me on with encouraging, motivating
Talk that never falls short of helping me
Uncover my hidden strengths, in time
To achieve each goal in a space
Where my comfort is of paramount
Importance, but I still need the grace
And humbleness to accept advice, even as I mount
An internal war to grow outside my realm
Of family, friends, extending my wings in my palm
To reach out to those who’ve lost
So much, as they feel stunted, stagnant,
But, really, their strengths are epic needing to be emulated.
