"Journey of Life"
Cody
Holy Ghost Catholic School
Bernalillo County, NM
Born, emerging into light from darkness
Cry, Eat, Sleep; Everything to do
Learn to walk, stumble, fall
Talking, phrasing noises into words
School, Education for a new life
Test, feeling of worry, success
Others, obnoxious, immune from harm
Mistakes, embarrassment, never to repeat
Sports, Rules and conditions for fun
Give a ball there, catch one here
Fall, pain; get up, success
Run, steal, fall, repeat
