Foundation Checks

He didn’t stand well.
The winds of life
caused him to sway.
His foundation
was like a rocking chair,
always unsteady.

He would’ve
have gone far
had his foundation
been well placed.

No going back
to change the past.
Now, his best choice
to shore up
the weak places
and move forward.

Hopefully,
to survive,
the upcoming storms
of life.
