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.
