This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Will the next step I take be the right one for me?

March 1994
(Jonathan is 14)

How about stopping them before they're convicted three times?

Every step I take I think is the right one, but when my foot is planted I find that the ground is looser than before or I step down on a nail or a rock, which makes my foot sore. Will the next step I take the right one for me?

Will the next step I take
be the right one for me?
Will I be my true self
instead of what people see?
Will I find a path
no one is trod on before
or am I walking
to a locked door

I step on something sharp
I look and see a stone
I want to sit down
and rest my tired bones
but I have to keep walking
my own separate path
through all my troubles
despite all the mishap
I have to get others
to follow where I go
but it has to be done
without putting on a show
