Ouch Lessons

“Ouch”… yet expressed in mirth’s glee
“Uy”… that’s my brave boy, I see
 Careful should you be midst zest
 Hurt or strained; just do your best.

Oopps … falling is milestone’s part
Up you stand, and again start
Child, let’s learn from pain of game
Here’s my hand; success we’ll claim.

Oh, life’s “ouch-ouch” is alright
“Ugh” and “umm” blend with delight
Cheers from God bring victory*
Helping faith for sound “hurray.”

*1John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

Progress for a special child often comes with ouches and boo boo's! But, that being said, the cheering at an achieved success seems to outweigh the struggle. Well said. Love your acrostic. Sending you blessings.
