We didn’t know how to walk
Until we did
We didn’t know how to talk
Until we did
What if we had never tried
There are lots of things
We don’t know how to do
That doesn’t mean
We cannot do them
Growing older makes us
Wiser
It can also make us too
Comfortable
The lack of years left to live
Makes failure seem risky
Fear of trying new things
Creeps in and stifles ideas
We forget its okay
Not to know
Until we do
That’s how we started out
In this wonder filled world
Let us end that way too
Always learning
Something new
