the foundation

we measure, we cut.
we hammer.
we stand back and think
okay.
not bad.
we build
a life, day in day out.
from birth to now.
but at times it gets old.
the wood
rots,
the paint peels,
the nails and screws get
loose
and we need to tear it
all down again.
start over.
it's all about the foundation
though.
if you have that,
you're good to go.
start again.
