TO ATTEMPT

To get anything right,
One needs the time
For look at the flowers
Their beauty is sublime.
They don't attain
What they give overnight
It takes years of growing
Before they are just right.
The next time it is hot
And you stand beneath a tree
Think about how long it took
For that shade to be.
So if you are planning
Any thing to do
Take an extra minute
To think of what to do
To make the ending perfect
As perfect as can be
In a world of imperfections
In the form of fools like me.
