Lessons in a Master Class
Excellence
In all things
Courage in the fires
That make us
Strength in the hands
Stretched out to others
And the steady shoulder
Bracing us up
Heart in all that we do
And compassion
For all who hurt.
Never fear truth
It hurts only as far as
We let it.
Even in malice it
Only seeks to improve.
Never fear hope
For it lets us
Go on.
Even dashed, it proves
We live.
Never fear love
For it is the best
Pain.
Even in its end
There is some small joy.
I got this
And you will too
Growing up is never
Done
But each step is
A chance
For reflection, for realizing
‘I have grown’
And in having
This
We will continue to grow.
Failure and Success
Are but a cycle
A roundabout of
Lessons learned
And
Each turnoff is
Just another step
On the road to
Learning more.
Remember the rear-view
And don’t forget to
Pull off sometimes to smell the
Flowers.
