STAYING IN LANES

Poem-Header-800x100-0013

In pursuing the dreams of our fathers
We can live in the shadow of others:
Carving out the shape of ones-self
Requires self-respect and belief.
Experiencing the movement of time
Provides a tick-tock of opportunities
That require the courage to be.
Staying in lanes is the discipline:
Knowing when to leave is the art
Of living with a spirit of the new.
