I didn’t grasp the green shoot, which
in youth, was mine by right.
Now it’s beyond my fingertips,
indeed, well out of sight.
I was always on my tippy-toes,
grasping that unearned.
I missed the shoot, the leaves and all,
such a bitter lesson learned.

I didn’t grasp the green shoot, which
in youth, was mine by right.
Now it’s beyond my fingertips,
indeed, well out of sight.
I was always on my tippy-toes,
grasping that unearned.
I missed the shoot, the leaves and all,
such a bitter lesson learned.
