BABY STEPS
Saying your first words trying to communicate
When you're ready
Taking that first step that we all anticipate
When you're ready
First bus trip to school with other kids you commute
When you're ready
Experiencing that very first kiss that stole your youth
When you're ready
Learning to pray from the bottom of your heart
When you're ready
Finding your first job, keen to play your part
When you're ready
Meeting someone you like, not sure if it's love
When you're ready
Marriage far from thought, folks giving the shove
When you're ready
Decisions, choices, convictions, keeping a healthy balance
When you're ready
Regrets: result of forced changes and continued resistance
I'm not crazy
I'll let you live your life the way you want it,
Live your destiny, in time, as fated'?
When you're ready
AND THE WORLD GOES ON...
We find Mona Lisa’s smile captivating and mysterious
Yet it's unknown if she’s pretending or plain delirious
As there are positive, warm people who can easily smile
Helping and inspiring others is genuinely their style
For some of us, in our isolation we can’t help but bleed
In the shade we comfortably nurture our own private seed
Some bleed their minds allowing bad memories to take over
Some bleed their hearts terrified of corrupting a better future
As we all wonder paralized by our created fascination
Tick tock the world goes on leaving us with own lil distractions
Forgetting that we really can’t change the past – it’s purely wisdom
Same as trying to control the future only restricts our freedom
