Closer Still
there are times of preparation
hard to explain
I do the job of many
so longer are the steps I take
for example today was not just today
but for this week, spring and next year
I could have been done by now
where I want to be
if I had been willing
to sacrifice people close to me
there are times of preparation
a subtle smile, a gentle fire
guided by a vision
fueled by desire...
plan for success
but not mine alone
but his and hers too
until they are grown
I do the job of many
and many have helped along the way
wish I could tell them I'm not giving up
I'm still headed the right way
even though it is taking me longer
I will be joining the ranks of you
there will be much to celebrate
it is those thoughts that get me through
