Facing obstacles

Like an eaglet on its first flight
I jot and thrumb up the fleeting stairs
Scared at first with my eyes closed
Afraid I might fall
But yet will I stand and say
Though this is new,I shall overcome

Like a ballet dancer on his first dance night
I fear and I hear my heart thump
With every beating sound as seconds fly
With those prying eyes looking at me
Hoping and wondering what a spark I shall become
I stand and I say,though this is new,I shall press on

Like a baby learning to walk
I stand and I fall,making silly mistakes
At times a leg before another may lead to another drastic fall
Jotting around,afraid if to go or not
As I fear for another fall
A fall that may be stronger than the last
But yet again will I stand and say,tough this is new, I shall continue to push

I shall overcome every new obstacle I shall encounter with perseverance and consistency
And with this I hope
More eaglets,whose wings are tamed for flight, though being severed by spongy thorns
More dancers whose mind have polished and prepared, though there might be a thousand and one doubts
More babies whom legs have been carefully groomed to throw and to subdue the other,though the falls have been countless
Would this world evolve

And I hope even in this new obstacle,I shall stand and say
Though this is new, I shall continue to overcome.
