The Start

© 2017 by P Michael Biggs

I took a deep breath

and thought to myself,

“I can do this.

I want to do this.”

I looked at my tools,

I examined my plans,

I thought and pondered,

I began with my hands.

“I can’t finish this in one day”

I thought to myself.

And yet, just for today,

I’ll do what I can,

That’s all I can say.

And so, I started.

Progress was slow,

even then, I worked

at what I know.

And sooner than soon,

my work took shape.

It had form and foundation.

I thought of a finish date.

You see, don’t you,

that it is the small whacks,

the repeated daily attempts

toward our dreams

that yield the best results?

The wise man once said,

You don’t have to be great to start.

You do have to start to be great.
