First I lost my "Fears" and found some "Faith,"
Faith prepared my "Dreams" and I began
etching my road map.
I then told "Mr. Inconsistency" and "Mrs. Negativity"
that I wouldn't be around for them to kick
any longer.
I kissed my pet "Complacency," and left
him with a neighbor who gladly
took him in.
I gave my old friend "Mr. Procrastinator" a firm
handshake and told him to write;
though somehow I knew he'd never get around to
actually doing it.
I checked my wallet for a lot of "Hope" and it was
tucked safely inside.
I filled my gas tank with "Endurance,"
loaded my trunk with "Determination,"
placed my "Passion" carefully in the glove
compartment and checked my tires for
a bit of old fashioned "Intuition".
....And I was Off
Along the way, in the form of "Mistakes"
I purchased "Humility" and "Experience."
As I reached my first "Goal,"
I found an old friend I had lost contact with,
"Optimism."
Finally, I mailed "Success" a post card.
I told her I'd be there shortly,
and to save me some
"Happiness."
