When walking a hard road with a steady heart…
the road rattles your step,
but the notebook is still.
Your mind is steady and focused
as faith trembles.
Everywhere –
hats to carry a task:
hats with memory, hats carrying love,
a hat for logistics,
and one for paperwork.
A party hat to guard emotion,
finality, and fragile joy…
and a solemn hat
that will one day sound the horn.
When walking a hard road with a steady heart,
keep looking ahead.
No need to look down—
the weight is already all around.
Hold steady,
tall and brave.
Not every day will ask this of you.
But today
is not every day.

until next time ~ Koi Monkeys
