Take a number and wait until you're called.

Who says the end is always justified
Sometimes the means are average
And the ends are frayed
Whether or not the knot is undone
Can all that is made be unmade

And what of the journey to the finish
Is it the fall or the landing
Regardless of the height
If it all works out after struggling to rise
Then isn’t it worth the fight

Who says the way to live is fraught
With disappointment and dangers
That worsen each passing year
Isn’t it better to keep moving forward
Stand tall and face those unfathomable fears

So rise up, sir and madam, one and all
Take the bull by the horns
And pursue your dreams
Even if you’re the only believer
Its good to have an end to justify the means

This really hits home at the moment.

I love how you can say what I and I am sure a lot of other people feel.

Even if you are on the other side of the world.

Kelly,

Thanks again for your kind words. I think what you have said is the target every poet, writer, musician or artist aims to hit. I'm just pleased you think I got a bullseye.

I couldn't agree more that you did just that, Maso. WWW Link

Serenity,

Thanks very much to you too. I find it comforting that I'm not being so obtuse in my wording I lose those who take the time to read my poems.

Good to see you
