LINES OF THOUGHT © 2015
When you stop tying your shoelaces,
Life, in its steps, becomes uncertain,
You stumble over small distractions and pains,
And the fall comes, sudden and awake.
It is in the details that the path is made,
In the care to tie what seems small,
For what you ignore, sooner or later, brings
The stumble that makes the journey tall.
Tying the knot is the simple gesture that guides you,
The attention that prevents mistakes and haste,
For life, even filled with wisdom true,
Demands small cares so you won’t waste.
Keep the knot tight in every action,
And you will avoid the fall, step by step, with precision.
