Thanks for the little falls
Thanks for the falls  I only can notice
Thanks for the falls I notice in me
Thanks for the little falls

Some falls are great, everyone knows
Some falls never leave the dent it carved
Some falls are so dark, the wayback is shut
Some falls are so grave, you never realise

Thanks for the falls that only the beloved sees
Thanks for the falls when someone helps
Thanks for the falls which grounds me
Thanks for the falls which makes me look up

I grow at every fall...nay...almost every
I fell from the womb; I fell down at my first step
I fell while ridding a cycle; I fell in most of the games played
I fell in all that I excel

I fell into loving arms of comrades
I fell into caring hearts of the love
I fell into mercy of many strangers
I fell into life's miseries and abundance

Is it a caution for a bigger fall?
Is it customary augment for greater glory?
Divided between mystical optimism and pragmatic realism
How many times  more do I need to fall?
