If they are scared, do not push them
For that will lead them away.
If they are arrogant, do not humble them
For they will wonder further astray.
If they are lost do not show them
For they will never learn the route.
If they are uncertain, do not teach them
For their dishonour will leave them mute.
For now, I stand before you
An item now complete.
Though hurdles stood before
They were just one of those I beat.
For when I was scared, I was not pushed
But nurtured to who I am.
For when I was arrogant, I was not humbled
But allowed to be my own man.
For when I was lost, I was not shown
And learned my own way back.
For when I was uncertain, I was not taught
And now I will never lack.
Through times of trouble and times of joy
I have learned through all the while.
So today I’ve made myself a man
To provide my own true lifestyle.
