It’s not so much not
Having what I want
Which (I know with Stone cold certainty that)
I can’t always have
It’s finding I can’t want
What I am trying so hard to get
Grasping at a goal ensures it
Slips away
Chasing victory results in
Empty hand
And so the paradox:
To make the touch
Requires caring just enough
To schlep my bag to practice
In the rain
To bandage, brace, wrap, roll and ice
Rise early and retire late
Leave books unread
And beds unmade
And yet, once on the strip
Let all that go
Banish any thought that
Work deserves reward
Practice makes perfection
Pain results in gain
Trying will succeed at last
Requires faith
That trying is enough
Requires faith that
Caring just so much, no more
May mean I find
Exactly what I need
