Tale of a Child Who has Survived

Tell me a tale of a child who has survived 

Who's will and curiosity wouldn't let them turn away 

Follow their story from youth to old age

Count the many steps they took to climb higher 

Chart their many blunders from which they grew 

Notice the changes that kept them searching anew

Applaud the times they got up after a fall

Think, with a smile, of the times when they bravely spoke out 

Take note of what was thought during the moments 

Respect whatever was then and is now 

Be mindful of how you have changed like them 

Disperse your ideas as you choose to evolve 

Cherish the child who has survived 

Honor their will and curiosity by keeping it alive 

Keep following their story from youth to old age

Appreciate the many heights that have been reached.

Honor their will and curiosity by thinking of them on each day you greet. Keep following their story to fuel your motivation and appreciate the many heights you’ve reached.
