The Last Mile
I did a friend a favor today
I handled the last mile –
Literally
It was the difference between working hard
And having success
They say the last mile is the hardest
Because you feel like you’re so close
But if you stray
The last mile can be never ending
Pro athletes know it
They get to the top
But the real winners know how to close
They walk that mile over and over
Until one day
They can’t anymore
I kind of feel like I’m walking the last mile
Not to an end
But rather to another new beginning
A new chapter is about to unfold
But first I have to get there
Walking the last mile
I wonder who will be there
To walk the next first mile
