If You Reach

If you reach for the sun
You just may get burned
To get burned is no fun
We all should have learned

If you reach for the sky
You may just get taller
Just give it a try
You will not get smaller

If you reach for a hand
Or someone to hold
You’ll get what you planned
If you do as your told

If you reach the end
You may turn around
Or go around the bend
What you do may astound
