BORN INTO THIS WORLD

BORN INTO THIS WORLD

Born into the world a canvas blank

With only a name, no number or rank

A soul pure untouched the journey begins

Set free into a world full of pleasure and sins

Tentative steps along the learning curve

A journey fragmented, we twist and swerve

Each day discovering something new

Sometimes foreseen, sometimes out of the blue

Growing fast finding our feet, making our way

Taking what we need to see us through the day 

Absorbing information to quench our thirst

Brain on overdrive you’d think it would burst

Educated from an early age, gaining knowledge page by page

Learning designed to help us progress through every key stage

Starting with fun learning through games, activities & play

Helping us learn and achieve in our own unique way

Relationships formed, friendships made along the way

Though some will be steadfast others will betray

Embracing your identity, individually unique

Though the line is fine between different & freak

The world our oyster our choice for the life we want to make

People’s opinions burn, scolding words can be harsh to take

Some will hurt us though others seek to support

However hard we try sometimes we stumble & fall short

What lies ahead of us, and the opportunities that will follow?

Is not always clear, the unlucky few beg steal & borrow

Though circumstances dictate how we begin, life is about where we end

Life is never easy in fact it is more complex than we can ever comprehend
