Humility

We're not always the best
We weren't the first and won't be the last
The strongest and fastest and smartest and sometimes even the most handsome
We are going to be wrong sometimes
Someone else was there
Someone wants it more

We are proud of everything we have
We were so brave when we work to get there
We were for a moment strong and courageous
We were for a while very clever and likeable

Our time may never come, but some day
There will be a time for reflection
For an expression of awe and understanding
The winters journey of a thousand miles
Done in a day and with nothing to show
A lifetime later a moment will be there
A careless second is something and nothing

We must remain grounded and small
In order to one day grow big
In order to be big, ever
The best is the best is the best
We are all here, trying our hardest

Boating

The crisp, fresh air Stinging the cheek muscles and Tugging on hair follicles Burning wide-open eyes until they well-up with water, soon to be streaming down to the chin The cool breeze is so quiet you can hear yourself think The waves rock your body up and down, back and forth The open freedom humms and buzzes under the too-warm sunshine Up front the bow jumps wildly in the air Like an animal in the wild Smooth and fast Free and powerful An unsteady walk to the stern A time-out from the action A side-view of the sprawling forests Clean and well-kept beaches And a massive divide, cut deep into the earth's temporary shape Fanning out and slowly falling back in line A long day of adventure and excitement A good laugh to strengthen family bonds A picnic in the wilderness And another good memory Of success
