If I Knew I Could, I Would...

Put the fears behind me,

ticks, poison ivy, snakes, bears.

I would pack up our things

and go.

into the woods.

I would do

instead of talk about it.

I would collect the equipment needed

instead of reading about them.

I would start the journey on The Trail

If I knew I could,

I would begin

marking the miles,

one foot in front of the other.

Husband, children and me,

walking, sweating,

camping in the wilderness,

teaching them to embrace their dreams.

If I knew I could, I would...be the example of bravery.
