Poem Title:
Poem
At birth, we all start the very same way Wet, naked and hungry, looking for someone to love Our eyes are open, but we cannot see We cannot talk, much less know what to say But deep down inside, we know it is coming from above We don't even know what we will be We crawl, then baby steps but not in one day We wobble and run into things, balance cannot be found Then by two, off and running to who knows where Still no sense of direction in our play Some never get both feet on the ground Maybe they will get there with a lot of prayer Then later on in life as we start to grow Running our race and reaching our goal Really we are just wanting to make it to the finish line Maybe for some it is just a big show It all depends on what is in your soul And the end is not sleeping in a box made of pine Rather it is walking, talking or running a race We have to learn in steps or the moves that we make Each will come to us in a matter of time We cannot all be winners or an ace Because life is not always a "piece of cake" All we can do about this old life, "is one day at a time"
