The Things I Start I Need to Finish

The things I start I need to finish,

I need to take a leap of chance, of danger
not just taking a shot in the dark
following it up and getting into the light
seeing what the work of my hand can do

can my hands craft a song with a guitar
will it be a piece of work that I am proud of
more than, will others like it and hold me up
be surprised about where I have been hiding

can my voice craft a melody to accompany
will it be a complimentary voice to a song
will it stand on its own unique example
a song that will bring forth sparks

can my brain come up with the words
ones that are smart and poetic and concise
that make me happy i am doing justice
to the great songwriters of our times

can it do all those things
or am I at least somewhere close
probably not, so better not to finish then
turn over another page, the half written one left behind

The things I start I really need to finish.
