Plant Your Feet On The Ground
Each Day A New Direction
We all struggle from time to time
The important thing is to keep our head in the game
We will make mistakes and have slip-ups
Sometimes we learn from our setbacks more than our achievements
We don't always see our progress
We get focused on the wrong behaviors and emotions
That causes us to derail all the good we have made
I like to turn to nature and look for answers
By enjoying the good and the bad
When I see a fallen tree
I don't think of the poor tree
I think of the home it may be
For a bird or little animal that borrowed deep
Living in its an empty shell
So what once was a good healthy tree
Filled with leaves and strong branches
Shading the grass beneath
Digging deep into the ground with its long roots
Using the water that could cause a flood
Taking the carbon monoxide out and turning into the clean fresh air
All without any help from people
When something happens
The tree doesn't complain
That lightning is to blame
For its demise
So if trees can do it
I can do it too
I hold no one responsible for the things that happen
I do the best I can
No matter what the outcome is
I am better for trying than not giving any effort at all
