Walk On
You were born.
“Crawl before you walk”.
You crawl, then you walk.
You stood tall.
“Walk before you crawl”
You crawl after a breakup.
You crawl after making a mess of something.
You crawl after the death of someone you love.
So, walk while you still can.
A human life goes from crawling to walking, to crawling again.
So, walk while you still can.
Walk on.
Walk on, before you can’t crawl out of bed.
Walk on, before you die.
Walk on.
