First Aim

First Aim

 

First Aim

It was to bed

At the near to end

The twenty third

Of twenty four

 

But nay as not

Didst I do

All I wished

To little so

 

And now as that

The hour hoped

Comes and goes

I still remain

Writing my little verses

While I should so be

Asleep to bed

 

First aim

So easily missed

That mayhap I

Should surrender to

The inevitable point

That I am doomed

To ever dream

And never to truth

 

First aim

As I ponder this

It doth occur

That first is but that

And more than one

There is and is

 

First aim

Aye I missed of it

And nay can reach it now

But that meaneth not

That I am lost

Tis just that

I'll arrive

The later than

I had hoped

 

Charles Petrie

 

Right on! Don't give up eh. It doesn't have to happen all at once to be great.

It can happen slowly, over time.

Sure, I'm taking mine, but...phuggar that. I ain't giving up on me.

First is not last! Not by any means.

Tomorrow.
