I slipped, I stumbled, I fell.
I learned my lesson very well.
I reach, I jump, I leap.
I’m not going to land in the same ole heap.
I skip, I hop, I run.
Just like the others I have become.
I shake, I rattle, I roll.
I do not like me in this role.
I kick, I scratch, I claw.
I don’t have to be like the rest of ya’ll.
I see, I spy, I climb.
Life’s pathway is NOT sublime.
I rock, I dance, I swing.
I can do almost anything.
I slipped, I stumbled, I fell.
Maybe I didn’t learn this lesson so well.
