When we scrape our knees as children,
our parents taught us to get up and keep a going.
See obstacles in life
the tornados, hurricanes, and walls,
like scratches, cuts, bruises, and sometimes breaks.
See them as opportunities to rise up
and face the new day.
To keep going with optimism,
as taught but sometimes forgotten.

When we scrape our knees as children,
our parents taught us to get up and keep a going.
See obstacles in life
the tornados, hurricanes, and walls,
like scratches, cuts, bruises, and sometimes breaks.
See them as opportunities to rise up
and face the new day.
To keep going with optimism,
as taught but sometimes forgotten.
Just a thought
