Cling, , Poem by Nelson Munthali

At the beginning is where we must start
When life began with the beat of your heart
You progressed and grew
Till mother gave birth
Kicking and Screaming you came down to earth.

You smiled
You crawled
You learnt to walk
And then in time
You learnt to talk
All by yourself
You learnt to fight
And even learnt to read and write.

You fell
You cried
You went thru pain
You fell, you cried
You tried again.

From thought of failure you were free
You did so much instinctively
Instinctively you would succeed
With all the skill
You will ever need
When you were born
You had that skill
You had it then
And you have it still.

A gentle nudge is all you lack
To jolt your mind
To bring it back
Lets not you forget who you are
You are successful!
You are a star.

Cling to your possibilities
A prisoner of fate you are not
But only of the mind you have got.
