Life
Another birth, Another beauty, Another promise
All worlds, All nature, waiting to size
Striking caution, nimble care,
Motherly eyes survey and dare
Growing eyes, imbibing knowledge
Giving hopes to the future, friends lead from the ledge
Adolescence years, mistaken perceptions
Parents know, eventually they will see from the same lens
Adult choices, few to make
Path for them already made
I plead learn a trade on the sly,
Cut with your niftiest tools and fly,
Pray let's not have another unsung cry.
