Take nothing for granted:
An idea implanted
In my mind long ago...
It took all of my life --
I continue to strive
To understand it and to know.

Aspirations so high,
You wonder why
They're always bound to fall
Too often it seems,
They burst at the seams
And you're left with nothing at all.

The foundation is hard to establish --
You must choose the points well.
Whether it will hold
And turn into gold,
Only time can tell.

You've captured this beautifully Mark. A strong foundation is the key in so many ways. Very nicely written.

Best wishes,

Thank you, Kit, for reading and replying. How can you stand on quicksand without some "divine intervention"? I say: avoid the quicksand.
