The Right People

Some people clap while counting what you lose, Watching. Some just smile and hope you fall behind, Waiting. But some light up like a window in The dark, Real ones. Keep them close and let the rest Go quiet, Right ones. Find the right people, The ones whose eyes light up. Move slow if you have to, Slow still gets you up. And when you reach the peak, don't stop, Don't sit, don't rest. Every mountain that you climb is just the Bottom of the next. I Stopped racing people who were never running, Slower. I let my own pace be enough for me, Steady. Fast can break you before you're halfway there, Careful. One peak down and another's already Waiting, Onward. Find the right people, The ones whose eyes light up. Move slow if you have to, Slow still gets you up. And when you reach the peak, don't stop, Don't sit, don't rest. Every mountain that you climb is just the bottom Of the next.
