Child

Child is no longer a child
 when is chewing a chain
Chain cannot be chew
 if child is still a child
What can tickle a child to laughter
 can’t stroke a cat to sleep
Cat still likes stroke
 but no fingers to stroke it back
Child is a gold in parent’s hands
 when child still a child
Child become a stick of pull on
 when parent cripple to an old age
Child is foal
 when grown into horse carry the cart of his family
