Dropped unprepared

Dropped unprepared
Into the future
We would founder
No shortcut
To completion
It is not in the homecoming
But in the odyssey
From which we become
Would we even recognise
The world as our own
Without the experience
Incremental change
From childhood dreamer
To adulthood schemer
Responsibility
Family ties and loss
No drive through
The streets of Monaco
Or Jules Rimet
Man of the match
Hat trick
On cup final day
But an evolutionary process
A lifetime
Whole world development
Of devotion to
Love and family
They are reward enough
Sit with me awhile
See the world
Through my eyes
How it came to be
My unfolding
Can you but see
What it means to me.
