Progression through life

Progression through life

A Poem by Quinn

There is a figure who looks after
From birth she just watches
She just followed with parent 
But then when you get out of school
She took me by the hand
He pale white figure
Leading me through life
Through the forest 
Lead by a hand

Then when that was over
She lead me to a crossing
To take a different path
She stroked my face and 
Turned away
To lead another here
I took one step forward
Now it was up to me
Learning to walk all over again
Just like 
One
Two
Three

The ground felt slippy
Ready to let me fall
But I’d been taught
To look straight ahead
Look where you’re going
So that when you need to see
Just how far you’ve come
You’ll turn around and see

The path never seems to get lighter
It never seems to clear
But turn around
You’ll see
Just where you’ve come from
Just where you’ve been

Step forward
Take chances
But never forget
It gets lighter the further out you go
So don’t be afraid to jump
