Ready For Great
Sometimes you travel
For miles and miles
From sea to shining sea
In search of your great
It can be a person, place or thing
But it’s that brass ring
That keeps you going
Searching and dreaming of your great
I am in the middle of that right now
Traveling on the West Coast
Handling business
And building a portfolio of opportunities
And then out of the blue
Someone connects
A random hello
From that place called cyber space
But here’s the catch
We missed
Our timing was off by a couple minutes
And just a couple feet
After traveling over two thousand miles
This random someone
Was not more than 50 yards away from me
But we didn’t know
When we spoke – we laughed
About the randomness of it all
And interestingly she’s ready for great
Actually she gave me this title
Those that know me
Know I’ve made a new friend
One that will stick
Because that’s how I roll
And my new friend
Well she’ll have to decide
If there’s a road to great
That runs through my zone
Either way
The randomness is fascinating
To connect with someone and be that close
Only to wait for another day
But if you’re ready for great
Then time and distance aren’t a factor
Because when you’re ready for great
Nothing else matters
