To have stood on a pinnacle
and not realized how I had got there
To have looked at all those all around me
and not realized why I had got there
To have marveled at my achievements
and not realized what I had got there
To lay my head to sleep while I heard the faint whispers
of those who said a silent prayer of thanks
because I had got there
I wept a tear of joy
when I realized we were all there.
