your heart and soul into a project,
but it hasn't flourished as you'd hoped.
It hasn't come alive the way you know it can.
It hasn't taken on the shape of true success.
Sometimes one plan
moves slower than another.
Sometimes it creeps and crawls
along its path.
But just remember, so do caterpillars,
and look what they become!
and you, too, can see that happy ending
to your dreams.
