Here I am <br /> <br />Wondering, the way that I do, <br /> <br />About how to get THERE <br /> <br />From HERE. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />When I was very young, <br /> <br />I'd scout out my options, <br /> <br />Backtracking my way, <br /> <br />Testing my boundries. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Swapping curiosity for indifference, <br /> <br />I'd blunder along, <br /> <br />Calling failure an adventure, <br /> <br />Triumphantly lost. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Then came the tentative years, <br /> <br />With slow thoughtful progress, <br /> <br />Measuring my dignity on skeptical scales, <br /> <br />Polling the public opinion. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />But now I can't see, <br /> <br />The forest for the trees, <br /> <br />Because each one is so much more beautiful <br /> <br />Than the last.<br /><br />Ronnie Darling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/between-seasons/
