In Due Time

It's going to take time to learn new tricks.

It's going to take time
for that orchid to bloom,
for that tomato plant to bear fruit,
to see how your best laid plans work out.

It's going to take time
to retrain those muscles,
to regain your enthusiasm,
to see how those dark clouds dissipate.

It's going to take time
if you want to learn new tricks,
if you really want them to stick,
to see how those chinks in your armor
open you up.

It's just going to take time.
