They don’t give up.
They push on, they keep trying.
For the plainest of skills.
Simple tasks need endurance:
Every sentence’s a summit
Every speech sound’s a triumph of will.
Such tenacious young children
Built of grit and forbearance
Marathoners of life’s endless sprints
All uphill.
Oh, how deeply they teach me
The depth of true mettle
In courage, in hope to succeed.
Their indomitable spirit
Forms a marvel:
Pure resolve wrought from steel.

Want a truly wonderful verse. This is a story that many miss, seeing all but not appreciating the journey of growing up. You told it wonderfully.

Thank you, Mr. Mel! 🙂 Growing up is a lot of hard work (and play, but that’s the work of childhood, too!). I’m glad we can both appreciate it. I hope you are having a lovely weekend.
