Safety net- a poem
Safety net The fear of falling abandoned me When I was a mere child Because Dad always caught me When I jumped off wild Those monkey bars remember the tale It has been witnessed by every wall That I climb with audacity Because my dad catches me every time I fall This lives on with me as a metaphor I’m beset by no frown Because I know dad will pick me When life knocks me down Every failure is trivial His love grows as big as my problems get There is no fall too big for me As long as I land on my safety net He reminds me of humility and thankfulness On the days I’m glad But today I think everyone must know My gratitude list starts with my dad -Maithili
