Thumping heart, the adrenaline rush
Today is the day, I think out loud
The first chapter, the best so far
The jolt back to reality
This is far from certainty
Stay in the moment, I’m reminded
Stay in the moment my child
The road will be bumpy
The path not so bright
Challenges shall arise
Eyes on the prize
Look before you leap
The fruits you shall reap
The birds and the bees
Can be seen from the trees
As dreams turn into reality
Thoughts become a verity
Seek and ye shall find
Success is at hand
The plunge may be scary
But please don’t be weary
Have faith my dearie
For Victory is near thee
