poetrypicasso submitted a contest entry to What are your goals for the new year? 3 months, 3 weeks ago
2024

It took your body
Twelve years to climb
Four feet and eleven inches.
Although you have plateaued in figure,
I hope your soul can continue to grow.
I hope your heart expands;
I hope your spirit strengthens;
I hope you can fortify your mind
And feed your passions
A balanced diet.
This is the year
You search beyond:
Beyond yourself,
Beyond the limits you’ve come to know,
Beyond the 4 ft 11 in at
The top of your head.
I hope you pray deeper;
I hope you love longer;
I hope you work harder;
I hope you play better;
I hope you learn so much
Life starts learning from you.
And while that one
May be just out of reach,
Hopefully,
In 352 days
You’ll be used to
Reaching for things
People say are untouchable.

  This is a beautiful piece. I love this part:
  
  I hope you pray deeper;
  I hope you love longer;
  I hope you work harder;
  I hope you play better;
  I hope you learn so much
  Life starts learning from you.
  
  I hope I do all those things too. Keep pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. That’s where the magic beings. Thank you for sharing and thank you for being part of our unsealed family. <3 Lauren
