Not As Far - Three Legged Fox

I will stand atop everything that is mine

All that’s around, beneath and inside

I’ll show courage when I feel weak

I will listen much more than I speak

I will accept the good

Show more patience than I usually would

Sure as we’ll someday grow old

I will fight for the ground that I hold

No one said it would be easy

With everyday its a little less hard

Stay pointed to where I am going

With everyday its not as far

Every chance I get, I’ll try to express

Give thanks for how much I’ve been blessed

Sure to take pride in all I do

Be someone my people can bare witness to

I’m not trying to preach or impose

I’m a work in progress and so it goes

And sure as the next day will come

I’ll work til my work is done

I will shake this hurried notion

That the best is yet to come

I will stumble here and there

The straight and narrow, easier said than done
