Goals and Age

Goals and Age

© 2011 Rolland G. Smith

There comes a time in all our dreams

When we let go and sigh.

It could have been! We had the means

To try and try and try.

There must be something in our hopes

That lets us seek the goal.

We learned techniques and know the ropes

But then we loose control.

Perhaps it’s age or other stuff

That loosens a sure grip.

And we let go with no rebuff

The goal we think we skip.

But I have learned throughout the years

When letting go, I find

The goal I lost then reappears

As new and redefined.

So what’s the lesson in this thought

That I must now embrace

It is to never be distraught

When things seems out of place.
