For what my heart longs for,
my legs can span the longest length.
Or I’ll fill those chasms with my tears
and sail across on my raft of strength.
I’ll get to where I’m going.
I am sure I will not fail.
Because I know nothing of distance
and I know I will not bail.
The other thing, the important thing,
is that where ever I may be,
I am the person who comes before
the place that I will reach.
And still “I” will be there when I get there,
the place where my hearts longs;
the me that “is” combined with the me that “was”
is the wisest me to bring along.
I have the heart, the strength,
legs, head, and hands
To traverse whatever must be crossed
to span the space of any land.
And I will express this if I can:
There is no destination.
All I need is in what I am.
Life’s not easy. But you can make it, and make it good. And so can I.
