How do we convince them
When the wheels fall off,
Some find a way to re-attach them,
Others for a variety of reasons,
See themselves as the reason they fell off,
And yet others get it into their head,
That they are not worthy enough,
Not loveable enough,
So, do not see the point of putting them back on,
To fall off again.
So, how do we convince them,
That it is not so?
Everybody will lose a wheel or two in their lifetime,
And if we look inwards,
We will find the tools we were given at birth,
For just such an emergency.
The problem is that each set of tools are as unique,
As the one who was born with them.
