“Do the thing you fear

And the death of fear is certain.”

We’ve just begun another new year –

Another chance to open life’s curtain.

To struggle, study, and succeed,

To help and lift up those in need.

 

What is it that often holds me back?

A shortage of self-confidence –

Or heeding what others say I lack?

Is my vision one of true prominence?

Is my vision “burning so bright

It puts all of my doubts to flight?”

 

My vision is vivid; it’s part of me.

I will make a difference; I’ll unlock

my efforts, essence, and energy.

I know sometimes I’ll run, stumble, or walk,

Striving to “Move a grain of sand”

And yet to “Make no little plans.”
