Strides
Sometimes you have to take the long view
Things take time
What’s broken probably didn’t happen in a day
And the fix isn’t coming in a day either
So that’s where the patience plays
That really hard place
Where you just have to let it be
And wait
Now don’t get me wrong
There are times for action -
While patience may be a virtue
Sometime you just have to go
And figuring out the wait and go
Can be a game all to itself
One step forward, one step back
The point is that you have to take it all in stride
The long view requires it
If you have a destination
It will most probably be there when you get there
So measure your strides
Don’t take your eye off the prize
But also look around
There’s a lot to see on the journey getting there
And a lot of it is beautiful too
