My grandma always said,

“I’ve got two feet on the ground,

“I can do anything anyone can do.”

She barely stood five feet

though she claimed five-two.

 

My takeaway from this:

Don’t hide behind excuses.

Always give my very best.

Don’t get left behind just because

I’m different than the rest.

I may have to

run a little faster

reach a little higher

stand a little taller

act a little wiser

do a little extra

be a little stronger

think a little smarter

stay a little longer.

I should

Find a way to do the job

be the someone

to roll up my sleeves

and just get it done.

Because I have

air in my lungs

free hands not bound

a brain in my head

and two feet on the ground.
