I wanted to make a plan
A perfect one so that it
All goes right & I don’t
Fall or fail or flail in
My attempt at this great
Thing I have been dreaming.
Little did I know I had
Held the map upside down
& going about it all wrong.


All the dream needed was
Small acts of dedication.. 
Like waking up early to 
Walk my dog, consistent
Love like visiting my old 
parents weekly,time saved
like coins in piggy bank
To exercise every day,to be
Kind & patient like my gran
Was when feeding little me..

These were the simple asks
of my child of creation hid
So well in the costume of 
The great grand gesture! It
Took me a long time to realize
The this simple truth & while
I was wandering, finding my way
She sat waiting for eternity..
to show herself, without complaint 
To meet me & say hello with love.
