COMING OF AGE

No proverb wise
No advice sage
No quoted lines
On any page

No documented
Time or date
No self help
Manual on fate

How do we get
From A to B
Figure out
The I in me

No directions
No diagram
Could illustrate
The who I am

It doesn't happen
When you're young
And climbing up
Your first few rungs

The ladder stretches
Way up high
Past the clouds
Into the sky

But from the ground
You'll never try
To reach the top
To soar...to fly

And yet, try
Try you must
Learn to like yourself
And trust

Trust that you
Are strong enough
To climb the ladder
When the going gets tough

Climb up past the middle
To the very top
And once you're there
You must not stop

For here is where
You find your soul
Where you discover
What makes you whole

What makes you sing
What makes you dance
What makes you swoon
With great romance

By the time you reach
The ladder's peak
You will find the answer
To what you seek

No proverb wise
No advice sage
No quoted lines
On any page

Will provide you
With an answer so clear
As the coming of age
In your fiftieth year
