A Youth's Everything

"A Youth's Everything" A first trial's bust seeks open arms to omnipresent consolation Attempts conclude in unconditional surrender but for an every time pleasantness There breeds the encouragement to succumb to gravity And often goes down the child, to liken the second part success, a misdirection all the same Stay away I say, Stay away As for some neglect makes the heart grow fonder of you with absence Encourage only for trying to conquer ground on waddling toes, failure be put aside To refrain from being there, disappointment is a part of life In tripping and falling everyone must learn to walk Let them learn instead to sulk alone, autonomy will make them stronger And when they succeed on toddling feet soon there will be pride unlimited Vicarious joy for to the child who learned not to cry to you But to resurrect itself on its own bipedal terms, To leave alone, to love itself enough, to fight for gains other than your presence And someday the youngster eventually will do the same to teach the best ways Taught by the best in its eyes all because you allowed it to roam and face certain facts Existence whether good or bad must be fought for on its own
