Starting out very somber SLOW and easy
not fast pace with rush and haste , running and queasy


But just very somber and SLOW
sitting, and relaxing before, up, rush, and on the way and go


Nothing really planned
for the day ahead at hand


Letting things settle in place
before up and Out, to begin the daily race


As it's a kinda  a dreary cloudy early morning wednsday
soon, I'm up a movin, grooving, and out about on my way


When I was a younger man
many, things I  did, accomplished before the sun had a chance to even shine, I did then, early, at 0500-AM, as a MARINE, already I felt sweaty, tierd, exhausted and QUESY, as, exercise, and at least three MILES, we were,  up before the sun and--in motivating singing cadence we altogether--early, early, morn we sang


As a kid in school
in sports everyday, was my mission, goal, plan, and rule


Running and swimming
every day up early and fast, on my way, I was WINNING


So, it's different
getting up SLOW and easy, with no fast and furious up going and about-main event


So, SLOW, but sure
will in the end--WIN--the race, with, persistence, patience, when, some days are a little SLOWER, but --steadfastly--goals, preservers, and--progress--Advances--and--success--sometimes------S-L-O-W-L-Y------progresses----and---/-endures
