When faced with rough terrain ahead
Or uneven steps that may
Hold the potential
For plunging
Into pain
Or disruption:
Proceed with care.
Caution does not mean
Cowardice.
Bluster and bold moves do not denote
Good reason.
Determination often means
Holding on
To what railing is available
And bending down
To circumstance
So one may reach
Desired heights
Without the disservice
Of overzealous
Pride
To
Detriment.
