Learning to Live: A Child's Perspective


Learning to live
is an awful strange task.
How will I know
just what questions to ask?
I’ll utter one word
when the time comes to speak
but that word may not get me
very far down the street.
Until more words come,
and I trust that they will,
there’s a lot of love around me
to surely fulfill
what words cannot say…
and thankfully my eyes
can see farther and farther each day.

Learning to live may not be so bad
and as I grow up
I may be quite glad
for the gifts bestowed
upon my flourishing heart
this journey may just be
a great work of art.
