Give Yourself Time

Give yourself time to start to crawl, 
Using feet as well as each hand; 
Try to slowly move with caution, 
Allow your mind to understand.

Give yourself time to stand your ground, 
Against the wind of evil lies; 
Just weather the typhoon of life, 
Let the bright light open your eyes.

Give yourself time to walk the mile, 
Reaching your goal toward success; 
Extra effort fills the vacuum, 
Never let life be in a mess.

Give yourself time to spread your wings, 
Soaring high with intensity; 
Fly to the moon and touch the stars, 
Be the real best that you can be.

It truly takes optimism
To make a brave courageous climb; 
Don't be afraid to see setback, 
Be patient and give yourself time.
