Begin and begin and begin again.
Don’t stop beginning until the end
of the road begins to unfold
and reveals all you know
is but a drop in the bucket,
a grain of sand on the beach,
a single twinkling star in a galaxy far
and oh, so, near.
Begin and begin and begin again, my dear.
Don’t stop beginning until the final page begins to fray,
till the night becomes day
shining light on worlds unseen
on new paths, on new dreams
that are yours to take hold of.
Begin and begin and begin again my love.
Don’t stop beginning until the end of the ocean
rolls over the sand and the weight of the water
begins to demand that you sink or swim
that you sail or fly;
that you become the wind itself
reaching far and wide
gathering wisdom and sowing in kind.
Begin and begin and begin and again, young minds.
Don’t stop beginning until the end
of this world rolls into the next;
till you’ve seen your best become better
and your faith become deeper;
till you serve ones weaker
and let your light shine brighter;
till you embody the dreams of our fathers
and their mothers and their mother’s mothers.
on whose shoulders you stand.
Begin and begin and begin again my friend.
Don’t stop beginning until the end.
