Analysis of Growing me up
My two year old friend, Joseph
Started from crawling to his first steps
I remember his emotions in past years
From pain to walking without mama's help
But sometimes, I can't help but compare myself
And I imagine my life in joseph's shoes
and the life challenges that honed my strength
Because life is analogous to growing up
So what can I do to get me up?
When I'm crawling, when's the walk?
Patience, courage, grit and work
Will grow me up from crawl to walk!
