Kid Gloves
Of what use are gloves to a newly-born child
Whose fingers just long to break free
Or sonnets by Shakespeare to infants at school
Just starting to learn ABC?
And why give a castaway banished for life
A casket of jewels and gold
Or offer an ice-cream to folk on the street
Who've spent the night out in the cold?
For all things in life there's a time and a place
So mittens and gloves will exchange
But wisdom is needed for chances to grow
As seasons in life re-arrange.
