Though the journey is uncertain and the path not seen,
Full of obstacles, and the road not clean.
*****
Most won’t leave and begin to chart,
They are too cautious, and think they are smart.
*****
“We are better off here, where things are the same”,
“We know what to expect, we’re good at this game”.
*****
The vision I gave you can be wed,
Take the first step and get out of bed.
*****
Though fears and uncertainty will surely arise,
And the enemy is lurking, hidden in disguise.
*****
Be not dismayed, or overcome with fear,
Though not seen, I am still here.
*****
I cannot help unless you start,
Get up to the sea, and the waters will part.
*****
