The quiet mouse

They moved the goal post.

It stood farther away

I now had more hoops to jump through to reach it.

I took a deep breath

I plotted my course.

I changed directions.

I turned away from the goal post and looked out into the unknown.

Only i could see my new goal

It looked like I had given up.

I had only changed course.

I’m going around those hoops.

I’m not going to drown

I’m not a strong swimmer but I can find my way.

I will rise above the waves and stand firm beside my goal.

Whose coming with me?
