Preparing for life

See my little ones
Tiny and beautiful
To go up a stair step is so difficult

I make them try
No matter they fail
But they try again

One makes it
To the next step struggling
And is so happy at his feat

I persist and prompt
Till the last one succeeds
But yet further they must proceed

When they have learnt
To climb step after step
They go up and down and refuse to rest

Till they drop down
Having given their best
I then feed them and make them rest

When they wake up
The next lesson awaits them
Even more difficult than the first

This is how we raise
These little ones
For life and its ups and downs

Life is hard when it overpowers you
It becomes a friend when you get even with it
But to live on your terms you have to master it!
