Building Blocks

Once a babe
Now am grown
Walk a mile
Cut my hands
Dirt my face
Tear my heart

Never break
Learn to bend
Lose a love
Gain a friend

Simple things
Mesh intertwine
Add all up
To a life

Once a babe
Now a man
Run a mile
Hold a hand
Touch a face
Warm a heart

Choose a path
Cast a stone
Scale a wall
Right or wrong

Building block
Jigsaw piece
Grain of sand
Stitch of thread

How high the tower
How wide the bridge
Doesn’t matter
How many pieces it takes
That’s who you are

How you do
What you do
Put together
That’s who you are

What you hold
What you give
From the heart
Is who you are

I think this turned out more preachy than I thought. Oh well.
