New Things (2007

This is a piece about grappling with life's uncertainties and feeling like there must be more.

There comes a time in everyone’s lives
Where they need to consider and decide.
Am I truly all that I can be?
Is there more to me I do not see?

Have I tried or have I not?
Have I run the race?
Have I tried to climb?
Have I fallen to be caught?
Have I tried or have I not?

Remember being as little children
Not afraid at all to explore
Every nook and every cranny
The next best treasure in store

Change is hard and so is growth
Live a life worth living with both
Without either we are just a speck
Of all we could be and effect.

I will run the race,
I will try to climb
I will fall and be caught
By my divine.
