Slide

When you start
The downhill slide
Is it always
An enjoyable ride?

Do you look back
Up to the top
To the place you were
Before you started to drop?

Do you gaze ahead
At what awaits
Throw yourself in to it
No long debates?

Do you hope it's a short trip
It all flies by
And you're at your destination
In the blink of an eye?

Is the journey what matters
Or your intended goal
Which one fills your
Heart, mind and soul?

For me it's the rush
As you fly down the slide
Know I'm always wearing
A smile that's wide
