Standing Alone

We was born alone
but with our loving parents arms streched out to embrace us
as we grew  we learnt to lift our head alone
with someone loving there so we could see them
Crawling came next and we got up on our knees alone
with the help of a loved one there to call out to us
Last but not least we learned to stand alone then we made our first step
All the things we learnt as a child was made for us to be able to do  things alone when we are adults.
So now we can stand alone

I like the meaning of this - the things we do when we are young prepare us for the future challenges and responsibilities. And with our family and friends to cheer in our team, life becomes easier to live. Lovely write April!
