Poised to take the next big step,
Ready to take the plunge.
Organized, steady, 'standing' tall,
Crouched and ready to lunge.
Reading up on all to know,
Aware of all that's needed.
Settled on the path to go,
Tons of advice, all heeded.
Imagining all the future holds,
Not looking back but forward.
Always checking double time.
Tentative? A little awkward?
Introspective? Seeds of doubt?
Oh please don't make me blink!
No! Stay firm! Just stay the course!
........Nah! I'll have another drink.
Pontification is a mighty thing,
ReplyDeleteTakes a lot of courage to take that swing,
But, if there's a sliver of a doubt at all,
Take a swig instead, And try to stand tall.
