A A ChildS First Steps Through Life

These first steps you take in your life my innocent child
Will be a venture of such wondrous teachings and spiritual
awaking
This will lay down the foundation of your future years
There will be so many helping hands from your family each day
To lead you and guide you through life's different ways

As you grow much knowledge you will gain
Such golden riches you will store so many goals to attain
Be brave be strong my dearest child
As life's roads have so many twists and turnings
Which you will have to learn to understand

Show much love and kindness as you grow
Listen to loved ones that you trust and know
Be strong for your family who are all around
Learn to watch and listen to every sound

Share happiness love and laughter
Throughout your life with everyone you meet
Hold the beauty of this world in your heart
Which we should understand is not always perfect or complete

So my dearest innocent child cherish every single memory
Because these first years are so fleeting in your young life
Suddenly you will have grown into a man a woman a husband a wife
But with the help of your family you will make everyone you touch with
your heart so proud
As you make your mark in life's journey and stand
Your head held high above the crowd
