What A Story

And There Is A Little Boy Becoming A Man At sixteen, a crossroads, where paths diverge and meet A little boy becoming a man, with obstacles to greet The world outside is whispering, with a voice that's loud and clear "Grow up, take responsibility, and banish all fear" But the journey's not easy, with twists and turns along the way Self-doubt and uncertainty, can make each step feel like a fray The weight of expectation, from others and from within Can be a heavy burden, that's hard to shake or spin Yet still he rises, with a spirit that's unbroken A resilience that's forged, in the fire of his soul's awakening He faces each challenge, with a courage that's true And with every step forward, he claims his ground anew With every stumble, he learns, to pick himself up with pride To dust himself off, and to keep on stepping with stride He's a work in progress, a masterpiece unfolding with time A little boy becoming a man, with a story that's truly sublime So let the obstacles come, let the challenges arise For he's a warrior in training, with a heart that's full of surprise He'll face each test with courage, and he'll emerge stronger and bold A little boy becoming a man, with a spirit that will never grow old.
