Too Young

Too young to swim,
Lay down the coast,
A seal propels through the ocean.

Too young to sprint,
Break down the highway,
A leaf falls off trees.

Too young to mount,
Laze around the cliff walls,  
A stream erodes the soft rock.

Too young to soar,
Flit about in the branches,
A chick hatches out the egg.

Too young to march,
Settle down to the mud,
A snail drinks from a puddle.

Too young to be forever,
Loosen up the nerves and blood,
A mayfly mates in a day.
