Dear One,<\/p>\n

I see you reaching<\/p>\n

For so very many things<\/p>\n

So many dreams<\/p>\n

Some will come true<\/p>\n

Others will not<\/p>\n

Some will allude you like a thief in the night<\/p>\n

There will be cold dark days of hell<\/p>\n

Nights of endless wonder<\/p>\n

And many many many days of pain<\/p>\n

You will be surprised by who you love<\/p>\n

Who will stand by you and who will not<\/p>\n

And the ones that will\u00a0break you<\/p>\n

You will have days of rejoicing<\/p>\n

But it is the pain that will make you<\/p>\n

Get up from the cold floor<\/p>\n

Take a step and then a few more<\/p>\n

Keep reaching as high as you can<\/p>\n

Until your arms ache and your back breaks<\/p>\n

And your legs quiver and quake<\/p>\n

You will never lose more than you can<\/p>\n

You will never achieve if you don’t get up again<\/p>\n

You will never know love if you don’t open your heart<\/p>\n

You cannot finish<\/p>\n

If you are ashamed to start<\/p>\n

So start dear one, start today<\/p>\n

Climb every ladder and sing every song<\/p>\n

Write every poem and love<\/p>\n

Let your self love and be loved<\/p>\n

Lets see how much further we can go….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
