Crawl To Walk
Crawl to Walk
You can give a man water
but you can’t make him drink,
You can give a man knowledge
but you can’t make him think.
You can offer him advice
but he may not obey,
You can guide him to light
but in dark he might stay.
You can give a man shelter
but you can’t calm his storm,
You can light him a fire
but you can’t keep him warm.
You can grant a man vision
but you can’t make him see,
You can release him from chains
but you can’t set him free.
You can give a man all
he could possibly need,
but he can’t plant a tree
if he can’t sow a seed.
