LEARNING
by Gwen Elwood.


When learning how to ride a bike,
I almost broke an arm.
But with bruises up and down my legs,
I made myself climb on.

When learning how to count to ten,
I always was confused.
But somehow I did not give up,
And now I count by two's.

And learning how
To read a book
I realized
How long it took

To lean something
from all anew.

But it is something
We can do.
