Will the Child Walk
Will the child walk?
Some children crawl longer than others.
Should we rush the process?
Giving his legs time to grow stronger;
As he pulls up with those things that seems
most sturdy making his balance sure.
As someone provides support,
watching near by.
As he takes his first steps.
As his confidence builds
As he sees he is able.
Please give the child time
Later he will run...
