The work on a project

Where there is nothing on the line

Is so easy

Next steps

Where the line has something on it

Is so hard

Like Coach Ed said, “There’s a difference between good and great.”

Now it’s time

To start jumping through hoops

Mustering up the confidence to submit

All of these words that have 

Moved my grief beyond simple sadness

And on to real revelations

About who I am

Who I want to be

In the next steps that I take.
