Spontaneity at It's Best
When Your Tired And Laying In Bed
The most beautiful thoughts come dancing in your head
You have tried many things that don't work
For many years this has been the norm
No matter how hard you have worked
So many sleepless days and nights
No matter how much you believed it to be possible
It just didn't happen
So it wasn't nothing you did
It was not meant to be
The time wasn't right
One day all things will line up
Then you will know why you had to wait so long
Life teaches us many lessons
Ready or not
We may think many thoughts
Why not me?
How come ?
What can I do different to make it happen?
I have only one answer
Try, try again
Never give up
There are many things in this world we don't know
Life is filled with the unknown
Instead of cursing it
Embrace it
Celebrate all your failures as well as your accomplishments
They are connected together
Think of them as two sides of a coin
Tails shows the many sides of life we don't know
Heads shows what can happen when we put our mind to it
I have flipped the coin so many times
My arms are tired
My eyes are watery
That never stopped me from keep trying
Sometimes I give it a rest
Sometimes I go crazy all gun ho in one day
Other times I try, then try again a little later
One day
The coin will reveal heads
I was more surprised than you
What do I do ?
My first thought
This can't be true
Then after blinking many times
Things didn't change
I could celebrate
Who would believe me?
This is the day I have been dreaming about for my whole life
I am so use to seeing tails
I was about to say
What story is it this time
My mind began to repeat the past
Words were flowing faster and faster
Out of my mouth
I had to stop
Stop!
It didn't work the first time
Stop! Stop! Stop!
I call them tall tales but they really do happen
I exaggerate for effect
I make them larger than life
Like finding a salamander in the yard
I call it a dragon
It was ferocious
I was fearless
No where to turn
No where to run
It was going to be me or the dragon
Face to face
I had to stand tall
I looked the dragon straight in the eye
I had no time to think
One wrong move and I was a goner
Could I sleigh the dragon
If I looked away
The dragon with one swipe
Turn me into mush
Would I suffer in pain?
Would I have a chance to fight back?
Would we both die in the end?
After one long stare
The dragon turned away
Thinking maybe the same thoughts I thought
We both will live to see another day
