LITTLE LIFE
A little life
Once decided to
Take a stroll...
It wanted to see
Just how big
Was the world...
Once decided to
Take a stroll...
It wanted to see
Just how big
Was the world...
It tumbled out
Of its mom's
Cozy womb
And from its
First cry
It grew and grew and grew!
Of its mom's
Cozy womb
And from its
First cry
It grew and grew and grew!
It was named and
Began to crawl, then walk
On tiptoes, like a
Ballerina
And then she, the little life
Began to fall....

On tiptoes, like a

And then she, the little life
Began to fall....
Blue eyes
Turned hazel and grey
They looked at the world
Uncomprehendingly...
Turned hazel and grey
They looked at the world
Uncomprehendingly...
Little life didn't know
How to read or write
But she did know
To play 'imagine'
In her mind...
Days, weeks, months and
Indeed years flew by
Little life
Grew ladylike!
How to read or write
But she did know
To play 'imagine'
In her mind...
Days, weeks, months and
Indeed years flew by
Little life
Grew ladylike!
Now she knows the world
Is huge
But not incomprehensible
As once it was!
Is huge
But not incomprehensible
As once it was!
She reads and writes
Little life does.
She holds dear love and peace
And friends and dear ones...
It matters not that she cannot walk
For,
Little life realizes
Her purpose in being born
Was to create a world
Of words within one
Of acts!
Little life does.
She holds dear love and peace
And friends and dear ones...
It matters not that she cannot walk
For,
Little life realizes
Her purpose in being born
Was to create a world
Of words within one
Of acts!
And when she wonders
Whether it was the best
Idea to tumble out into
The world,
She smiles thinking
Yes, it was...!
Whether it was the best
Idea to tumble out into
The world,
She smiles thinking
Yes, it was...!
