In Gear
She taught him young how to walk,
But later he chose where to go.
She taught him his vocabulary,
But later he chose what to say.
She sang him a mother’s song,
But later he chose his own lyrics.
She even picked him out a spot in the choir,
But when he was older, he picked out the songs!
Life gives us an atlas and a compass,
But it is we who put our plans and live-in gear.
