Analysis of To Crawl To Walk To Run

Joseph m Novo 1951 (Watsonville Ca)



We, humans, must learn
To crawl
To walk
To run
All of the above can happen
All must be done in our own time
Quickly or slowly as the case may be
But also humans must learn
To care
To share
To give
Again, not all humans learn
So take a look at the world
Fill the empty spaces
Where there is no caring
Where  there is no sharing
Where there is now giving
So do what you can
However, you can
So learn to be
Good, kind and caring
