The story behind the song
This is for my daughter’s graduation, from her mum. She practiced every presentation for our dog, with a note on her desk saying “Start before you feel ready.” When she missed an important bus, she found another route and still made it on time. I want to remind her that she already carries the courage she needs.
The song began with these details:
- Rehearsing presentations for the family dog
- A desk note reading “Start before you feel ready”
- Missing an important bus
- Finding another route and still arriving in time
