Taking Nothing 4 Granted

Thinking out of th' box is not necessarily
a panacea to a garden of long stem roses,
for if it were, what else would anyone do
in achieving.......excellence and accolade.
A certain positive, that 'Box', out th' gate,
like the runner who is off 'with' the gun.
Yet, that advantage attained at the start
Will only end, with objectives being met
If the last leg be run as if th' first wasn't.
