Nine More To Go

So close you may be

Away from all that you achieve

Wondering what next you will see

Do you even want to believe

——

Reach further than you ever may last

Pray to stretch your grasp

Almost there happens so fast

Slowed down like slapped with an asp

—-

It’s coming, such a small thing

Meaningful as it might seem to be

So far from that secretive beginning

Still trying to see what you can be

—-

Many come and many put up a show

Some that came weren’t meant

So they were only able to eventually go

Their efforts quickly they were spent

—

Nine more cents is meaningless

All the greats went out west

In a land of less style to your dress

Even a guy like me can do his best
