That Golden Promise
That Golden Promise
By Annette Gagliardi
That golden promise of perfection
If only . . .
A declaration of nirvana—
The assurance of ascension into symmetry
How deftly the pledge beguiles --
How smoothly expectations transform
This weighty subject.
Then, guarantee broken . . .
I beg forgiveness -- my shortcomings.
Every indication convenes to denote the promise foretold.
Nevertheless, I acquiesce
And begin anew.
Dream the Golden Promise is true
And fall again into depths of despair when I fail to measure up.
Our goal is often out of reach.

It is a never ending struggle to measure up to our own expectations of ourselves in addition to trying to measure up to the expectations of others.
I think though heading towards those expectations we find we often get much much closer then we ever expected.
