Conundrum

I have a conundrum to figure out. 

It is not something as simple as right or left, 

or yes and no. 

It is about a commitment 

and how far I should go with it. 

I made a commitment over seventeen years ago, 

and I feel I still haven't fulfilled it. 

I'm not saying I haven't begun the project, 

seventeen years ago I did, 

it's just not the kind of thing you can complete over night, 
or ever. 

It takes time. 

it takes money, 

it takes patience, 

it takes a lifetime of commitment. 

I've had other commitments like this before, and as a whole, they have all turned out pretty good. 

So I guess I have little to fear, 

as far as this commitment goes. 

I feel I have to end my full attention to this project, 

or I could contaminate the results. 

Every Parent comes to this fork in the road, 

and I am standing in that road, 

wishing I didn't have to choose. 

But all birds must leave the nest. 

My daughter will be turning 18 years old on December eighteenth. 

I must let her go, 

because I love her, 

but I must let her know, 

I'll always be there for her, 

if she ever needs me. 

Go take on the World

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” 

- Albert Einstein - 

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
