Load-Bearing Grace

[jjhunter]

each and every step
test upon testing, checking
both compass and code

plans upon planning for years
mom & pop internet dream

start small, do it right
pace progress for the long haul
build a core of trust

learn how to do whatever
needs doing, until one day

you find that your dream
has grown grace like a world tree
sheltering thousands

tens of thousands new each day
and still at heart mom & pop
