Take the leap
yet land safe, my love
dream, dream big
and move fast
my love, but stop and look behind
yes, the universe beckons
sets the stage
invites, entices
you being brave
young and proud
will step up the game
do, do not delay
do not allow doubts to fester
the universe knowing you
your place will
match her step to each of yours
sometimes though
not always, not every time
there are tricks and traps
foes masquerading as friends
mentors not yet good at mentoring
yes, these are old words
the genesis of doubt
niggling bits of diffidence
clouding the sunshine
that is you
ignore my wavering
pardon my fearfulness
remember love
I am with you
forge ahead
the world is your stage
go set it on fire
the universe holds out her hands in embrace!

The grandfather in me gets it, the whole thing..The father/teacher once and long in me understands this: “mentors not yet good at mentoring.” And an imaginary writer in me would like to have thought up this especially : “niggling bits of diffidence”

But you are a writer and a very good one at that. Thanks. Our children should go out and explore yet there is a fear that sometimes stops us from being supportive.
