WHEN YOU WERE BORN
When you were born
How happy she is, that
As little as you could feel
Her love for you is divine.
Day by day as she sees you grow
She wonders what the future lies for you?
She knows the world is so tough, but
Like learning to walk, you go down and up,
Keep going, keep trying, keep your feet on the ground.
Look hard, have direction, in no time you could see,
The fruit of your labor has become the key.
Now success is in your hands,
Try to share, help teach others
So that hand in hand they all walk together,
For a newborn child to see
That this world is not as bad,
As you think it would be.
