While feeling slow, life goes so fast.
From tucking coats to looking down,
I thought I left my fears back there in the past but now I see them in your eyes, your frown, the hiding behind legs,
the begs for not having to go without your bags of marbles.

I hope,
I hope you're happy in relief,
the lesson: fear is only brief,
as life, temporary,
the wary feeling passes.

Have courage, brave young puzzling kid,
you already have more courage
than your uncle ever did.
