That First Time Is Impressive Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

So you've stumbled.
To crawl on your knees.
With a doing to stand tall.
Now all you have to do is to move your feet.
And the 'next' time you do this,
Don't stop to complain.
Or begin to solicit empathy sessions.
Learn when you fall to stand up quick.
And keep moving on to forget about it.

'The 'next' time?

Yes.
It wont be your last time.
But that first time is impressive,
Isn't it?

'How do you know this? '

It would take too long to share my experiences.
And I don't stop to listen to those who complain.
In time you will do the same.
With your own experiences to recognize and distance.
