Friends

A friendly poem.

i started on a journey
when i was very small
probably about the time

that i began to crawl

it wasn't always easy
it wasn't always fun
and yes i had to learn to walk
before i learned to run

and sometimes i would fall down
and maybe skin my knee
but there was always someone there
that was willing to help me

when i wasn't looking
i might walk into a wall
i started learning early on
there's many ways to fall

still no one ever laughed at me
and no one ever yelled
the times that i would stumble
or the many times i fell

now that i've gotten taller
i'm not so very small
i'd like to say i'm here for you
if ever you should ever fall...
