It’s fine, once in a while,
To step back
For someone else
To shine.

It’s fine, once in a while,
To not be in the hurry
That we were born into
And kept on living in.

It’s fine, once in a while,
To not be as ambitious
As we had always been,
Never settling for anything less.

It’s fine, once in a while,
To see a different perspective
Than the one we have
Struggled to keep for ourselves.

It’s fine, once in a while,
To step back,
Yet still being in the game
And not completely step away.
