To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

How do geese know when to fly to the sun?
Who tells them the seasons?
How do we, humans know when it is time to move on?

there is a voice within if only we would listen to it,
that tells us certainly when to go forth into the unknown.

so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
