The Wisdom Of The dots

You can't connect the dots

Looking forward,

You can only connect them

Looking backwards.

Steve Jobs learnt

This in his fifties,

But you need not

Wait that long.

When your knee hurts again

Or when you are tired

Of seeing your hair on the floor,

When heart aches for someone,

Or your mind lingers

On painful long ages;

Soothe your heart

Sing it a lullaby.

Remind it of that

Awesome workout

You had in the day,

And how you have been

Disciplined for more than a week.

When you are worried

About the battles you might face,

Because of the gender

In which you are made.

Remind yourself

You have come a long way,

From the teenage girl

Too scared of not having

Her heart's way,

To this woman unafraid.

Recall how your prayers

Have changed

From wisdom of self

To peace and faith

Remember the growth

Of your soul

'Cause as Steve Jobs said

"You can't understand in the fore

Only when it's over."
