Blessed is the man who knows
What he wants
And goes about his life with confidence
Walking into a room without a hesitation
talking to someone new without a blush
Or does not shiver with a hand shake
He is the one whose smile seems to always be on
In a routine
They go from one class to the next
Waving left to right the same pattern as the day before
He stopped in the halls half the time
With a conversation, not just for him but rather for both
Truly engaged
And not worried about the traffic around
He walked out of that same high school
Knowing what he wanted
Without a pause in his stride walking onto a new college campus
No dreams of home in his new dorm room bed
He who had a poster of such a college on his wall for 7 years
And then walked the halls painted in its same colors
Swirling a new story
Without a thought of how it changed the old
He is blessed to remember the new and love the old
And see his story in a linear line
Merely moved by the breeze
He is blessed in knowing what he wants
And getting it
Without a break in character
And you ask him how he manages
And he takes a
Big breath
Closes his eyes
Loosens his shoulders
And hints at a grin
Saying
Just go with it and smile wide
