we all need to...

we all need time to grow
space to show,
but do we really know if we should go fast or slow?

we all need time to mature
so we can fervently nurture,
the amazing gifts of nature even with steps of which we're not so sure

we all need to feel pain
so that through life's journey,
there's something to retain as sincerity with efforts doesn't really end in vain

we all need to know our stand
even as we shudder at falling through quick sand,
to reach out for any hand yet the cry from inside we don't want to understand

we all need to retrace
hence to pick up pace,
not really by being in haste so in the end we all can wear a happy face
