We come into our world
Full of ignorance.
From the time we are born
Our learning progresses
As each second passes.
Knowledge is gained,
Gained by experience,
Gained from others.
We each grow in differing ways,
We each go down our own paths,
Each path different from others.
We may meet occasionally
But those paths always diverge
As we go our own way.
We may never know,
Never know what is around the corner,
Or what is through the door.
Life is always exciting,
As the unknown can frightening.
That fright can be countered
Once we have that knowledge,
That knowledge that we learn.
The unknown in our lives
Is there to be conquered,
As in life,
There are no practice laps.
